My Nonprofit Reviews

As the student members of the Veterans Heritage Project make their way through the uncertain world that lies before them, they take with them a more informed perspective of the true cost of freedom. They take with them a first-hand confirmation of the sacrifices made by those who have and by those who do answer the call of duty. Directly through their personal interviews with veterans, and indirectly through their individual contributions to the publication of this book, the students of VHP have taken their first steps toward that “tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime”.

I have come to the realization that the overarching value of this student-veteran engagement transcends the preservation of the service stories of courageous men and women honored in the books. Indeed, the Veteran’s Heritage Project allows those courageous men and women to continue their “dedication of a lifetime” as they pass along their patriotic inspiration to a new generation. I have seen the enlightened young faces bursting with pride as they contemplate their dedication to the completion of this project. I have heard them discuss their solemn new-found respect for entire generations of veterans.
My memories of VHP are imprinted forever in my mind. With each interview a connection and an understanding occurred. The VHP students I have had the privilege of working with have become such amazing citizens that contribute so much to their communities. I could not be more proud of their continued dedication of a lifetime.
