Tom Turbiville worked with Bryan Broadcasting for 19 years. A champion of public service, his lasting legacy is his work with Brazos Valley veterans. He interviewed over 140 area vets, often going to their homes and sitting down informally to discuss their service. Everything he recorded, he saved. When he realized that this amazing collection was gathering dust in his basement, he started a new project.
Knowing these stories needed to be shared, he decided to go through his box full of veterans – audio clips, videos, pictures – and post them online for people to revisit and enjoy.
A hard thing for many of us to imagine, these are tales of sacrifice, courage, and comradery. The world can not forget these fascinating oral histories.

And thanks Tom, for your continued service to our area vets!
