Warner Library Contributing to Project Seeking to Tell Veterans' Stories

The Warner Library in Clinton is participating in a nationwide initiative that tells the stories of veterans and submits those to the Library of Congres.

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Executive Director Bobbi Perryman told Regional Radio News this is an exciting initiative they've been doing for a few years now. 

 

 

Dave Henard is a local veteran of the Vietnam War who was also recognized for his service with the Distinguished Flying Cross Award. Henard was a pilot during the war and the attack on the Ton Son Nhut Airfield and tells his role in that battle.

 

 

Local veterans advocate Jeff Morlock is helping the library get connected to veterans. While this is something that has been going on for a few years now, he still gets excited to give veterans the opportunities to tell their stories.

 

 

Once the veterans tell their stories, the work for the library to get those to the Library of Congress is just beginning. Because of all the paperwork, transcribing of the stories, and interviews that have to be done, the library is only doing about three veteran interviews per year.
