A Different Kind of Service

Service men and women really know how to serve and since this is a blog about different services ideas; I was excited to find a way to serve them too!  Many servicemen and women have noble, heroic stories and lessons from which we can learn, but they aren't given the opportunity to share.  A way we can serve them is to help preserve their story.  This service idea is to interview war veterans (with caretakers' and their permission) and fill out proper forms etc to be able to preserve their stories through the Library of Congress.  I had no idea there was a program like this, but I love it!  This is a great opportunity to give of our time, rather than serving others monetarily.

Here is the link with information on the process:
