I wasn't sure where to put this post but I figured this was a rallying point so I could use a few pointers to help me with this interview.
So, a friend of the family asked me to do her a favor and sit down with her father who is a decorated WWII vet in failing health. She asked me to take video and pics of the sit down interview so that she could share this with her family and have a way of remembrance of her father and the great things he did for this country. She has told me a few things about him and I am truly humbled by her request, she knows that I am very interested in WWII history for my own personal reasons and this opportunity is indeed an honor for me. I am asking for you guys to help me out with a few ideas on questions to ask and I want to make this as meaningful as possible for her and her family and for anyone she cares to share this video with as well. I am looking forward to this opportunity and it really hits home because I had three great uncles that were in the war and I never got the opportunity to sit down with them and talk about it before they passed. Any help is greatly appreciated and if this post is in the wrong spot please correct my error if you would please.
Thanks
