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
