“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause – honor to him, only less than to him, who braves, for the common good, the storms of heaven and the storms of battle.”
Abraham Lincoln, 1863, writing on the sacrifices made by deployed Union soldiers on the frontlines in the midst of the American Civil War (1861-1865)
But what does it mean to really understand their experiences?
Enter the Guardian Project
After pondering this question, I decided to create the Guardian Project, a research-esque mission to more fully dive into this question.
At first, I did not know how to start. Of course, there are resources, but not the types that I really wanted; what I really wanted to do was get a personal interview with these veterans and ask them questions myself.
That’s what ultimately led to start conducting interviews with veterans; now that I have done a number, I have grown to understand them far more than I ever could otherwise.
And, to spread this information more broadly, I have written down my notes and uploaded my recordings of these meetings so that others like myself too could understanding, even if a little bit more, the guardians of our democracy.
