Veterans Day Salute - Special Broadcast

Tune in for our Special Broadcast

On November 11, 2023 the Community Media Center will observe Veteran’s Day with a special broadcast featuring interviews with Carroll County Veterans.

Join us for all-day programming beginning at 9:00 am on Channel 19 and Channel HD-1086. The interviews are part of the Carroll County History Project's Veterans Oral History Collection and feature veterans who served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Some individuals saw combat, while others served in support roles, and many had friends who gave the ultimate sacrifice. These important personal accounts can provide powerful insights into the experiences of our local veterans.Through their stories, we can begin to see how military experiences affect every aspect of life, regardless of whether a person served overseas or stateside, during a time of peace or during conflict.

The goal of the Veterans Oral History Collection is not only to honor the courage and sacrifice of our local veterans, but also to preserve their memories as a lasting resource to help educate future generations. Their personal accounts help bring history to life, adding a context and perspective that you can’t find in a textbook. 

Viewers can watch interviews with Carroll County Veterans and the Carroll County History Project’s other interview collections online. CLICK HERE
