In
2013 the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) will celebrate its 10th
anniversary in partnership with the Library of Congress on the Veterans History
Project. Reporters from around the country have volunteered to preserve
the verbal histories of veterans by transcribing their memories of the
conflicts in which they served. So far over 2,600 veterans’ histories
have been preserved and submitted to the Library of Congress where they will
remain in perpetuity for the education and benefit of future generations.
The Foundation’s goal is to reach 3,000 submissions by Memorial Day of 2013.
The
National Court Reporters Association is honored to play such an important role
in the preservation of these invaluable first-hand accounts given by our living
heroes to whom we all owe so much.
We
pay homage to all our veterans, past and presently serving, on this Veterans
Day and thank them for their service and sacrifice.
