In the coming months, the Veterans

History Project, AARP and the Atlanta History Center will work closely

to train volunteers on how to conduct oral histories and to recruit veterans

who wish to share their wartime memories.

"We are thrilled to be

a Veterans History Project partner and to help preserve veterans stories

from Georgia," said Jim Bruns, executive director of the Atlanta

History Center. "We encourage people of all ages in the state to

get involved and for other organizations to help preserve our rich history

for the benefit of future generations."

Each Wednesday beginning June

11, the Atlanta History center, with the help of AARP volunteers, will

conduct oral interviews with local veterans from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. For more
