Good Morning Mr. Griffis,
I am contacting you to request your assistance with our interviewing initiative of CF Veterans on part of Heroes Remember. I work on the team led by Mr. Adelard Comeau and co-worker Alan Banman. They thought it would be a perfect start to my request for potential candidates to interview.
As a background, our web team are in the process of conducting interviews for our Heroes Remember website. Our focus is on our Canadian Forces Veterans who served in various missions. We are focussing on soldiers who may have served in Persian Gulf, Haiti, Congo, Cambodia, Iran/Iraq. The way it works - we send out a team consisting of an interviewer and camera operator and capture the stories of these soldiers so that we can edit and post on our website for the purpose of educating the youth of today and the Canadian population in general on what our soldiers go through during their tour of duty. Veterans Affairs is committed to interviewing those soldiers who have retired from the military, still-serving Veterans, however, do not participate in the interviewing process.
At present we are trying to travel to the Montreal area in hopes of obtaining interviews in both official languages. This is where you come in!!!
I am wondering if you know of retired soldiers who served in the noted missions and may be willing to discuss their service. Any contacts that you may have would be of great benefit to me in seeking potential candidates. At this stage I am only beginning my search and would appreciate any feedback you may have.
I will contact you by phone but wanted to send a quick email to let you know what we're all about!!II look forward to hearing from you.
Jennifer
