Vision of Vets is proud to release its newest augmented reality short video (2.5 minutes) of U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Michael Glover, Special Forces Green Beret, speaking about his military training and service. He talks about his involvement in multiple missions to Iraq, Afghanistan and African countries, and ends with a message to youth.

Vision of Vets’ mission is to capture and preserve stories of U.S. combat veterans in forms from which all ages can learn: narrative, video, and portrait photography using augmented reality. This not-for-profit organization has recorded the experiences of veterans of World War II – including a U.S. Marine Navajo Code Talker and a U.S. Navy prisoner of war who spent 1,368 days in Japanese captivity – the Korean War, Vietnam War, the War on Terror, and a female K-9 handler (and her dog) who served missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The organization also researches earlier wars in U.S. history and interviews reenactors in historically-accurate uniforms as they tell their “stories.” These accounts have sparked an excitement in students to learn more about military servicemen and servicewomen. When veterans visit Prescott Valley, Arizona, classrooms, students often are overwhelmed and have expressed their gratitude and respect in heartwarming ways.

Please consider making a donation to Vision of Vets so it can continue to locate, interview and preserve these veterans’ images and stories.
