After Alan moved to Florida Hugh McAuley interviewed other veterans as part of our continuing veterans living history initiative. . The interviews were produced with the help of cable TV access coordinator George Malone and his assistant, Janelle Wallace. The interviews are aired non stop on public access TV during the Veterans day and Memorial day weekends. The interviews are being archived at the Greenburgh library. Their initial priority: interviewing the oldest veterans (World War II and Korean conflict). Eventually, veterans of more recent wars will be interviewed. We are proud of our local heroes and hope that future generations will never forget their contributions to freedom. Sadly, some of the veterans of World War II who were interviewed for our living history project have passed away. Their stories won’t be forgotten.
