SLC Veteran's Questionnaire Form The best thing for "your story" is to share it with others. How much of our history is discarded in the trash? What kind of stories and perspectives have already been lost? As a people, we hope that our lives will have an impact in this world, that our stories will mean something to future generations. When we lose our history, we lose our cultural memory. Share your stories with others so they are not lost forever. Below is a list of questions that might help “jog your memory”. Write your story any way you wish. Thank you, Sandy Eskew
