Thanks to the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) and the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), each veteran’s interview is being transcribed and posted to youtube.com. Youtube allows us to use its interactive transcript feature which automatically synchronizes video with transcript. With this feature, one can read the interview word for word while watching the video. This is a tremendous aid especially when a veteran is difficult to understand due to illness, a heavy accent, or a stroke. Additionally, not only our veterans with loss of hearing can watch the interview with closed caption, but researchers will now able to search the transcript for the topic in which they are interested and jump directly to that portion of the interview.

Help put faces to the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial!
National 'Call for Photos' campaign, which hopes to put faces to the 58,272 names memorialized on The Wall. The Center will have a Wall of Faces exhibit that will display all collected photographs.
In an attempt to ensure that 100 percent of Connecticut's fallen are remembered, the Veterans History Project at CCSU and the Connecticut Department of Veterans' Affairs are working with volunteers and teachers to collect photos and remembrances of any of Connecticut's 612 who do not have photos on VVMF's Virtual Wall. For more information about the effort or to submit a photo for the Wall of Faces exhibit, please contact Eileen Hurst at 860-832-2976 or hursteim@ccsu.edu or visit http://vvmf.org/thewall to learn how to submit a photograph.
