Veterans' Voices: Honoring Those Who Served in the 20th Century
This project is in response to Minnesotans who have said they want to hear more stories from the Veterans who have been featured in our Veterans' Voices projects. In these podcast episodes, we remember and honor the stories and memories of Minnesota Veterans of War during the 20th century. The goal is to give a deeper understanding of the character, values, and spirit of the Minnesota men and women who served their country during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Throughout this special series, listeners will hear dozens of stories that explore the knowledge, experience, and leadership of Minnesota Vets, from their own perspectives and in their own voices.? The project also gives Ampers the opportunity to maximize Legacy funds by utilizing audio we have collected in over the last five years for our Veterans' Voices projects.
$1,775,000 the first year and $1,700,00 the second year are to the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations for production and acquisition grants in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 129D.19.Of this amount, $75,000 the first year is for the Veterans' Voices program to educate and engage communities regarding veterans' contributions, knowledge, skills and experiences with an emphasis on Korean War veterans.
This project will result in an increase in locally and Minnesota-focused content produced by public radio. Minnesotans will have a better understanding of the culture and history of the state's Native American communities. More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities and incomes will have increased access to Minnesota history.
