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
