Veterans History Project Video Series With Charley Barnes – Sneak Peek with Colonel William R. Suhre/Ret. [VIDEO]

Today begins what I think will be one of the most satisfying things I have ever done. This is the first video in a long running series for the Veterans History Project.

Colonel Suhre is not only a wartime hero, he's a personal friend and has done more for me in my professional career than just about anyone. So, it was only fitting that he would be my first interview and his story is truly a fascinating one.

This project has been in the works for awhile now and I am finally getting this off the ground. In this weekly series, I will be sitting down with local veterans for a one on one chat about their lives. Each Monday I will run a behind the scenes 'sneak peek' and the full interview can then be seen on that Friday.

I won't just be chronicling their military history, but we'll find out who they really are as far as where they grew up, who their parents and siblings were and what they have done with their lives after serving in the Armed Forces.

If you or someone you know would like to share your story, I would love to sit down and record it for future generations to see as these videos will all be submitted to the Library of Congress as part of their Veterans History Project. Any veteran is elgibile and I will set interviews with the following priority:

• Terminally ill from any conflict
• World War II
• Korean War
• Vietnam War
• All current/modern conflicts

To schedule an interview, just click here to send an email and I will respond as quickly as possible to get an interview scheduled. You can also call me in the studio at 800-500-2599 Monday through Friday between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Drew Bankston, a friend of K99 and owner of Star Painter Productions, is a professional videographer and I can't thank Drew enough for volunteering the countless hours it takes to do these videos.
