This is a volunteer project. There is no charge for this whatsoever. It is simply a mission for me. I hope that in the
future I will find other like-minded individuals who would like to become a part of this organization as well.
Becoming a Member
I am currently working on a format to become a member, but please know that it is open to anyone who would like to join.
These are amazing people, and we all have something to learn from them!
Organization News
Since this is a brand new site and organization, please bear with me. I will be working on updating things as quickly
as I can. There is already a lot of interest, so I will try to get organized quickly! Stay tuned...
It's October 20, 2007. I don't know if any of you have seen the new Ken Burns series "The War", but
it is an amazing journey all the way through World War II. I have never seen or understood the war in it's entirety,
as most movies or miniseries (like Band Of Brothers on HBO) would track an individual battle or company of men. After
seeing this I have really been led to do this. I have traveled up to Washington DC and seen the new WWII Memorial on
the weekend they unveiled it. I met so many veterans, each with such compelling stories! They had some film crews
up there doing exactly what I am doing now- recording their stories straight from the veterans themselves. It will be
such a powerful tool for generations to come in their families. Imagine 100 years from now- WWII will be practically
ancient history. But, for those kids they will get to see their ancestors who fought in the war on DVD. They get
to hear the stories directly instead of stories passed down over the years from parents and grandparents. I think every
veteran should have that ability. And that's why I'm doing this! I have already had a TON of interest
in this project even before I have set up the web site. I'm looking forward to meeting many new and exciting people
as a result of this. God bless...
My name is Jeff Beabout, and I am a business owner (Backyard Adventures of AL) from Birmingham, AL. The Veteran
DVD Project is an exciting new project I have decided to take on as of October 20, 2007! I recently interviewed, directed,
and produced a DVD of a local WWII hero. He was able to share all of his stories from his experiences in the European theater
as well as share his faith. By turning this into a DVD, he was able to permanently share some of the most dynamic aspects
of his life with his family for generations to come. Let's face it, these men and women are some of the bravest people
alive today. They fought a war in which it was truly unknown whether we as a nation would continue to enjoy the freedoms we
had up to that point. They faced such an evil enemy with such determination and resolve, volunteering to go to battle for
the USA. It is my personal belief that all of our WWII veterans should have the same chance as my friend here in Birmingham
did, and all of their families should be able to hear these amazing stories of bravery from the mouths of the veterans themselves.
It is because of this that I have started this organization. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EITHER HELPING WITH THE
PROJECT OR YOU HAVE A RELATIVE WHO IS A WWII VETERAN, EITHER EMAIL ME AT THE LINK BELOW OR SIGN INTO THE GUESTBOOK.
I look forward to meeting many new people!
