Military Veteran Video Project
Donation protected
I'm an OEF/OIF US Army veteran whose goal is to collect, archive, and share military veteran war stories. To achieve and sustain my goal, I will be starting an audio/video live streaming company for events in the Houston area. I need $4,300 in addition to my current available funds to get my startup off the ground.
I work for a public university as a web administrator and a live streaming engineer and producer. I have the experience, the knowledge, and the drive to make this project a reality.
The Smithsonian Institue had a similar project for a few years that has now turned into a blog. But their project was focused soley on archiving purposes. I want to create something that will have meaning, not jumbled with facts and not stuffed with ads. Each veteran will have the choice to share their story with the public, peers, or just their family. I believe that sharing each others stories, even generations apart, can have a healing effect on both the teller and the audience. I have war stories to share, my battle-buddies have their own, too. Help us share our stories with you, our friends, and our families.
