Stories for Creative Forces Audio Collection

These stories were produced at audio production workshops for veterans, service members and their families. Workshops are designed to help current and prior service members express their stories and folklore (customs and traditions) through audio production training. Participants gain experience in research and interviewing techniques, audio recording, logging, transcribing, writing composition, and story crafting with audio field recordings.
