Veterans Day extra credit assignment

 

Get in touch with a veteran.  (someone who has served in the military in any capacity...service during wartime is not a prerequisite) They can be a relative, friend or someone you contact through the local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) or American Legion post.  They can also be a veteran from another country.

• Conduct an interview.  You can transcribe your conversation or record it...up to you.  Your interview should have at least five questions that you prepare beforehand.

samples--    Where were you stationed?  What were your duties?  What is your most memorable experience?  Would you recommend military service to today's youth?  What would you think about a new draft?  Stay away from extremely personal questions unless you are very close to this person.

Most of all, make this a meaningful experience for yourself.  In other words, just don't do it for the points.
