Stories of Service
Stories of Service is dedicated to teaching young people to serve their communities by helping preserve the memories of our nation’s veterans and everyday community heroes. Veterans, students and volunteers work together to create Digital Stories - mini-movies - that preserve the historical legacy of our country while passing on priceless lessons about courage, sacrifice and service to future generations. Nearly 2000 veterans pass away each day, and now local students can take an active role in capturing the amazing stories of these men and women. Learn more
