I know some veterans who would be happy to share their memories of military experience.
- What were the circumstances that led you to join the military?
- In what branch of the military did you serve? How long? Where were you stationed? How old were you? What was your job?
- How did your family feel about your service?
- What story/experience most stands out for you?
- What positives and negatives did you take away from your experience in the military? Have they changed over time?
- Do you keep in touch with the people you served with?
- How does your military experience inform the way you live today?
- What advice do you have for someone considering the military?
- How was your transition back to civilian life?
- Are you the child/sibling/spouse of someone in the military? What has that meant for your life?
- What does Memorial Day mean to you?
