I hope you are all looking forward to our annual convention, I know I
am! As the President of the National Association of Blind Veterans
I am once again honored with organizing the Celebration of Freedom.
A point in the program where we take a few moments to honor all of our
veterans. This year we would like as many veterans to participate
as possible. We hope to receive an audio recording of each of them
introducing themselves and giving us a short glimpse of their
service. I hope all affiliate and division leaders can spread the
word and assist veterans who might have difficulty in creating an audio
recording. What we need No Later Than June 6 <sup>th</sup> is a ten
second recording of them providing the following information.
<br><br>
Name <br><br>
Rank <br><br>
Service <br><br>
Retirement status or years of service <br><br>
Where they served (if they think it appropriate) <br><br>
Location where they are now <br><br>
And anything they want to say (just keep it under ten seconds) <br><br>
Please include a transcript in your email so we can include it in the
closed-captioned portion of the program. <br><br>
For example, mine would be something like <br><br>
Vernon Humphrey President of the NABV, Master Sergeant US Army retired, I
served in various medical facilities and humanitarian aid missions.
Columbus, Georgia. <br><br>
We have noticed that we have some veterans who have served in other
countries, we hope to include them in this program too. Please pass
this on to the Veterans in your affiliates and divisions. <br><br>
Email all audio clips along with a transcript to:

<br>
Cordially, <br><br>

“Each of us is in essence like a rubber band ball. Culture is developed
as if adding one rubber band after another. Some rubber bands are wide
and comforting; some are thin, tight and painful, with a variety of sizes
in-between adding to the construction. Each new rubber band changes the
mass, density and dimension of the ball and how it will react to outside
stimuli, just as the layers of culture change how we as humans react to
situations.” </blockquote>
