Are you a veteran or a military family member with a compelling story to tell? Highlands School’s Military History class wants to hear from you.
The student’s plan is to create a documentary that tells the stories of local veterans and military family members focused on their experiences with the armed forces.
Highlands students created a flyer to help reach local veterans in the community.
Veterans can expect to be interviewed on topics ranging from their role or job in the military, their experiences during deployments, and their experiences during training.
Family members of veterans can expect to be interviewed on topics including how they managed homelife during a family members deployment, how they supported their family member during their time serving, and how they adjusted to their soldier, sailor, Marine, or airman returning home.
The students feel it is their responsibility to engage the community and encourage our neighbors to learn about the experiences of our hometown heroes.
The goal is to screen this documentary from Dec. 8-14 in Highlands.
If you are interested in participating, forms are available to fill out electronically or on paper.
