Yes! There's no need for the stories to be told second hand....anyone can video tape it.
True, but to have it archived and indexed into the National Historical whatever would be pretty neat, give access to anyone, and be a permanent lasting account that we all count be proud of. Some of the ones I saw a few years ago were nothing but where they traveled, and some didn't even really see action, but they wanted all the stories.
Don't misunderstand me. I wholeheartedly agree with you. But while you're waiting on whoever to visit....start taping right now. Don't put it off.
