NMC has been participating in the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project for many years. This semester Jim Press’ US History students will be interviewing America’s veterans and/or the civilians who also played a role in our wars.
They currently are interviewing a World War II Marine, a Korean War veteran, a “Rosie the Riveter” woman who broke new ground in America’s industrial work force during World War II and an Iraqi War veteran. But, they need 4-5 additional veterans/civilians to interview this April.
So, if you know of someone who played a role in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm/Gulf War, Iraq War, War on Terror or Afghanistan, would you please ask them and if they’re interested have them contact Jim at jpress@nmc.edu. The interview is usually conducted right here at NMC by his students and takes about an hour. We’d love to record and preserve their piece of American History!
