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...
I'm THRILLED to report that the Dawson Memorial Baptist Church project (31 Veterans
interviewed) is COMPLETE! After a year's work, we had a banquet on Thursday night (Nov 12) where 27 of the veterans
were in attendance with their families in a packed out room. It was so great to meet all of these brave men and women.
This is truly why I do this project!
If you are a family
member and are wondering how to order extra copies of the DVD, simply send a message to me at the link on the bottom of this
page, or email me at veterandvd@aol.com. Include your mailing and contact information as well and I will get them sent
out as quickly as possible.
Thanks to Fox 6 and
CBS 42 for covering this event as well.
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!
