http://www.whro.org/thewar WHRO collaborated with Patriots Colony in Williamsburg, a retirement community for former officers of the armed services, as part of its promotion of The War- a film by Ken Burns. Several stories were submitted from Patriots Colony and four of those remarkable and poignant stories can be found here. These stories remind people that even though war is traumatic - it also has a very human side. These oral histories will also be sent to the Library of Congress where they will remain for future generations to experience. en WHRO 2007 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 23:22:00 GMT Hampton Roads' Heroes A hub of U.S. military activity, Hampton Roads has been shaped in many ways, socially and culturally, by the daily military presence. During WWII while many Hampton Roads' residents were leaving their homes to go to military assignments, the area was growing with people coming from throughout the United States. As the launching place for so many soldiers, sailors and airmen and the leaving place for so many families, Hampton Roads was a region filled with joy and sadness, excitement and fear, leaving indelible marks on the community.
