Military Family Sought - Do You Fit the Bill? |
Military Family Sought - Do You Fit the Bill?
Does your family have a proud military tradition with multiple generations
having served our country? If so, best-selling author Andrew Carroll wants to
know more.
Andrew Carroll, author of War Letters and Letters of a Nation,
is the founder and director of the Legacy Project (www.warletters.com),
a national, all-volunteer organization that works to honor and remember those
who have served this nation in wartime by seeking out and preserving their letters).
So dedicated is he to this mission that he is donating all of his earnings from
War Letters to veterans groups. To date, The Legacy Project has collected
and preserved more than fifty thousand of our nation's war letters.
Now he's looking for a "great, untold story" (war-related or not) centering
on a military family to feature in his next book. If you think your family might
qualify, here are the criteria:
A family with five or more generations that served in the military
Preference for consecutive generations (or as close to as possible), but
acceptable to skip a generation here or there
Preference for war-time service, but acceptable if some served during peacetime
Women who served in any military capacity (including nurses) are welcome
Anyone who thinks their family might meet the criteria is invited to contact
Andrew at warletterproject@aol.com
(and yes, it is singular in this e-mail address although the Web site is plural).
Please be sure to use this e-mail address, rather than submitting through the
site as Andrew rarely gets the opportunity to check his Web site's messages.
