Stories of Service

By

In the spring of 2008, eighth graders at HTMMA took part in a National Veterans Storytelling project, Stories of Service, creating digital videos to convey the wartime experiences of San Diego veterans. After exhibiting their videos in San Diego’s Balboa Park, they journeyed to Washington, DC for the Memorial Day Parade. There, as the youngest group to attend, they joined other storytellers in honoring the service and sharing the stories of veterans nationwide.
