Smith, US Army, WWII

Interacting with Veterans - Be patient and accommodating - ask about training, duties, what it meant to serve - be prepared, respectful, reliable, punctual - for some this will be first time talking about war - communicate often – use postal mail too! - Start with prepared questions then ad lib - Use AHEC overview questions given to you - Record music from that era and play to start meeting - Ask to see photos or memorabilia and ask questions
