Great interview--thanks for posting the link.
Its a great example of an interview format that could be used by almost anyone; it could serve as a good model for a lot of the folks wanting to interview veterans. Good format, good questions (not too deep or invasive but following up on answers given, etc). I wish I'd seen soemthing like this when I was a kid! When I look at the early interviews I did with various veterans of various conflicts, I can clearly see I knew nothing at all! Wish I could go back and re-interview some of those guys (especially the WWI vets) butthey are gone, gone, gone.
