For the second year in a row, Northeast Nebraska Telephone Company (NNTC) has made a mission to interview veterans on camera and share those interviews online during the month of November to commemorate Veterans Day.
Some stories made the veterans laugh; others brought them to tears. We at NNTC want to showcase veterans, giving them the opportunity to remember what it was like to serve. We also wanted to give veterans a voice to inspire younger generations to recognize the sacrifices made for our freedom. We’re extremely proud of ALL the veterans we interviewed and hope you’ll help us give them the recognition they all deserve.
The following veterans will be featured on our YouTube channel and on our Facebook page starting November 1st.
