Join the Oklahoma WWII Story Collection Project
Follow-up projects to Dec. 6, 2007's live Web cast from Pearl Harbor to students across Oklahoma will include a unique World War II story collection project.
Stories submitted will be highlighted on this Web site, on OETA and via special exhibits around the state.
This project will receive major attention and promotion so we encourage you to get involved.
We also encourage those who did not get a chance to take part in the Web cast to capture a veteran's story and send it to us.
