Brazos Valley Veterans — In Their Own Words

Howdy BBV Listeners,
Please help me get the word out. If you know any of these veterans (or their spouse or any child or grandchild or any relative) — please send me their contact information so that I can make sure they know the voice of their veteran loved-one recounting their military service exists. Or better yet, you can just tell them that they can access it in any of three ways:
- Go to YouTube and search ‘Brazos Valley Vets’ and up will pop the complete collection. or add the last name and just that vet will appear. (Ex: search in YouTube ‘Brazos Valley Vets Wolters’.
- Or if they’re on Facebook, ask them to search for the FB page ‘Veterans of the Brazos Valley – In their Own Words’ There they’ll see the main post which takes them to the complete list and a link to the interview for each Veteran.
- Or they can contact me at tturby@gmail.com and I will send them everything.
Thanks,
Tom Turbiville
