Episode Synopsis

While November might be most associated with Thanksgiving, Veterans day also falls with in the month.  This federal holiday is observed every November 11th and honors military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. At the Florida Department of State, the Major John Leroy Haynes Florida Veterans' History Program collects, preserves, and shares the stories of Florida's veterans and the State of Florida's military contributions. By documenting veterans' personal narratives, the program ensures their firsthand experiences remain accessible to the public and future generations. In this episode, we chat with program administrator Julian Duncan about the work of the program and we hear some excerpts from interviews he has conducted with veterans in the course of his work.
