# A veteran's story, told the right way

Service stories are the most asked-for and least-told in any family. This starts with the ordinary, follows the veteran's lead, and keeps the record straight.

## Ordinary first

The food, the bunk, the sergeant. The big stories live next door and arrive when the person is ready.

## Never pushed

A hard story told once is enough. The interviewer does not go back in.

## A clean record

Units, dates, places as given, marked for certainty.

Tellforth: Your story, told in full, in your own voice, for the people who come after.
