The Outreach Director for Brave New Foundation is looking for a Los Angeles area person as well as nationwide participants for the Iraq Veterans Memorial project. We are producing a web project that will launch March 19, 2007, the anniversary of the Iraq War. We are reaching out to friends/family/colleagues/teachers/children and fellow soldiers to send us 1 minute videos sharing memories of military personnel who lost their lives in the Iraq War. We will be putting these videos up on our website building an interactive quilt to commemorate the lives of our brave military and have their memory live on. Please see http://www.iraqmemorial.org for more details.

We feel the most authentic pieces will come from those directly affected by this conflict.

If you do not have a camera and still wish to participate, please call the outreach director, Jamiah Adams at 310-280-6117 and she can arrange a time for our volunteer field producers to film your story no matter where you are in the United States.

Thank you.
