At Northern Arizona Veterans Upward Bound, our thoughts go out to victims and their families of the Washington D.C. Navy Yard shootings, and those of the massive floods in Colorado. If you, or a loved one, have been affected by recent tragic events, please seek help through local professionals and your support network. Witnesses and responders may be affected by Vicarious Trauma also, and here is a good article with suggestions at: http://www.wendtcenter.org/resources/for-professionals.html
Veterans History Projects: Here’s an example of the Sedona Veterans History Project, where volunteer-veterans are videotaped giving their oral histories about their military service. See the video at: http://youtu.be/8G9qrOPwm8A Here are two Veterans History Projects in Northern Arizona: Sedona at: http://www.sedonalibrary.org/veterans_history.php and Prescott at: http://prescottvetinterviews.org/about.html If you’re in other areas, check your local library or Veterans organizations for a Veterans History Project near you – and preserve your experiences for future generations.
