Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast – Episode 35

Release Date: 01/27/2017

Description: Florent Plana | World War II Veterans Memories  On Episode 35 of Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast, we talk with French historian Florent Plana as he travels the US recording the stories of WWII veterans.     After finishing graduate school, French historian Florent Plana knew he wanted to do something different for awhile—something personally meaningful, of value and use. Unlike many of his fellow graduates, he didn’t want to take a year off to celebrate, recreate, loaf around, or jump straight into a dull professional job. Instead, he ventured to the United States, bought an old RV camper, and set off to meet and record the stories of WWII veterans—one chance encounter at a time. His passion for WWII and respect for those who landed upon the shores of France began when he was a child, “the day I saw the Normandy beaches for the first time,” he says, “where thousands of Allied soldiers landed and paid the ultimate sacrifice during the summer of 1944.” When Florent saw the National Cemetery of Colleville-Sur-Mer, where too many soldiers, sailors, and airmen were laid to rest after the war, he was deeply moved and honored by their sacrifice. Because of their service, Florent reminds all who listen, he and his country are free today. Florent holds more than a quiet debt of gratitude; he feels obligated to use his historical training to ensure that the experiences and stories of surviving WWII veterans—especially those who liberated France—do not vanish with time. Thus began World War II Veterans Memories, a cross-country oral history project recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of WWII veterans, wherever Florent finds them—the aisles of Walmart, a barbershop, an email from a soldier’s granddaughter, a posted to his Facebook page, or referral by a friend of a friend who knows a quiet old man down the street who, rumor has it, landed in the first wave at Normandy. These precious, first-hand stories, Florent knows, will soon be lost. So, he urgently schedules his next oral history interview, plots a course to some American city he’s never heard of, and drops his old RV into gear.

Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast – Episode 37

Release Date: 04/01/2017

Description: Eric Rood | Veteran Aviator Oral Histories  On Episode 37 of Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast, we talk about recording veterans oral histories in the world of aviation with Eric Rood of the Experimental Aircraft Association's Timeless Voices of Aviation project.   Eric Rood of Columbus, Ohio has been capturing, preserving, and sharing veterans’ stories since 2006.  In addition to recording locally, each year Eric travels to the Experimental Aviation Association’s annual convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to interview veteran aviators—on the fly, so to speak. Being at Oshkosh working with EAA's Timeless Voices of Aviation project is a wonderful experience for any oral historian or aviation enthusiast (Eric is a pilot, himself), but it is a technical challenge to record so many interviews in such a short period of time.  But, he admits, preserving these stories is our obligation to history and a tribute to our veterans' service—especially our WWII veterans. Producer's Note: Nick Grimes is the host of Longest War: The Post-9/11 Veterans Podcast and a combat Army veteran of Afghanistan.

Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast – Episode 25

Release Date: 03/19/2016

Description: Valerie DeFazio-Vacula The Italian Campaign: The Forgotten War On episode 25 of Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast, we have a conversation with Valerie DeFazio-Vacula, author of The Italian Campaign: The Forgotten War - a true-life account of the experiences of Pittsburgh WWII veteran, Albert DeFazio.  Recorded March 19, 2016. Hosts: Kevin Farkas, Todd DePastino, with Bryan Chemini. Audiography: Kevin Farkas.     As school children, most Americans learned about Wold War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor, the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima. But few people know much about the Italian Campaign during that war. Of all the western fronts in World War II, the Italian campaign cost the most lives. One of its survivors, Albert DeFazio, didn't like to talk about his experiences as an American soldier in World War II, but he was also concerned that so little was known about the suffering and death in Italy. It took Albert decades to be able to describe his experiences in World War II - memories that still haunt him. Now, after seventy years, Albert DeFazio has told his story of the war he cannot forget. The Italian Campaign: The Forgotten War is available through Barnes & Noble or by contacting the author at 412-704-7846.       OTHER WAYS TO FIND THE PODCAST jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery('#slider_3642').owlCarousel({ responsive:{ 0:{ items:1 }, 480:{ items:2 }, 768:{ items:3 }, 980:{ items:4 }, 1200:{ items:4 }, 1500:{ items:4 } }, autoplay : true, autoplayTimeout : 5000, autoplayHoverPause : true, smartSpeed : 200, fluidSpeed : 200, autoplaySpeed : 200, navSpeed : 200, dotsSpeed : 200, loop : true, nav : true, navText : ['Previous','Next'], dots : true, responsiveRefreshRate : 200, slideBy : 1, mergeFit : true, autoHeight : false, mouseDrag : true, touchDrag : true }); jQuery('#slider_3642').css('visibility', 'visible'); sa_resize_slider_3642(); window.addEventListener('resize', sa_resize_slider_3642); function sa_resize_slider_3642() { var min_height = '50'; var win_width = jQuery(window).width(); var slider_width = jQuery('#slider_3642').width(); if (win_width < 480) { var slide_width = slider_width / 1; } else if (win_width < 768) { var slide_width = slider_width / 2; } else if (win_width < 980) { var slide_width = slider_width / 3; } else if (win_width < 1200) { var slide_width = slider_width / 4; } else if (win_width < 1500) { var slide_width = slider_width / 4; } else { var slide_width = slider_width / 4; } slide_width = Math.round(slide_width); var slide_height = '0'; if (min_height == 'aspect43') { slide_height = (slide_width / 4) * 3; slide_height = Math.round(slide_height); } else if (min_height == 'aspect169') { slide_height = (slide_width / 16) * 9; slide_height = Math.round(slide_height); } else { slide_height = (slide_width / 100) * min_height; slide_height = Math.round(slide_height); } jQuery('#slider_3642 .owl-item .sa_hover_container').css('min-height', slide_height+'px'); } var owl_goto = jQuery('#slider_3642'); jQuery('.slider_3642_goto1').click(function(event){ owl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 0); }); jQuery('.slider_3642_goto2').click(function(event){ owl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 1); }); jQuery('.slider_3642_goto3').click(function(event){ owl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 2); }); jQuery('.slider_3642_goto4').click(function(event){ owl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 3); }); jQuery('.slider_3642_goto5').click(function(event){ owl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 4); }); var resize_3642 = jQuery('.owl-carousel'); resize_3642.on('initialized.owl.carousel', function(e) { if (typeof(Event) === 'function') { window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize')); } else { var evt = window.
