[NFBNJ] Attention New Jersey Veterans: Celebration of Freedom Veteran Call

[Linda Melendez]

Greetings Federation Family,

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 th is a ten second recording of them providing the following information.



Name

Rank

Service

Retirement status or years of service

Where they served (if they think it appropriate)

Location where they are now

And anything they want to say (just keep it under ten seconds)

Please include a transcript in your email so we can include it in the
closed-captioned portion of the program.

For example, mine would be something like

Vernon Humphrey President of the NABV, Master Sergeant US Army retired, I
served in various medical facilities and humanitarian aid missions.
Columbus, Georgia.

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.


Email all audio clips along with a transcript to: mr_president at nabv.org


Cordially,

Vern
