Local Veterans invited to Share Stories of Service with Community Media Center
The Community Media Center will hold a special Veterans Oral History Collection Day on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at the Community Media Center, 1301 Washington Road, Westminster, MD.
The Veterans Oral History Collection Day is an opportunity for Carroll County veterans to share their personal accounts of military service with the rest of our community. The goal of the project is to recognize our local veterans, honor them for their service and preserve their memories for future generations.
Local veterans interested in sharing their story should visit the media center’s webpage at https://www.carrollmediacenter.org/carroll-county-veterans-salute to schedule an interview time.
Interviews will be scheduled, by appointment only between 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on October 16, 2025. The deadline to sign up is October 14, 2025. For additional information please contact Sherry Taylor via email at staylor@carrollmediacenter.org
The goal of the Veterans Oral History Collection is not only to honor the courage and sacrifice of our local veterans, but also to preserve their memories as a lasting resource to help educate future generations. These important personal accounts can provide powerful insights into the experiences of our local veterans.
Their personal accounts help bring history to life, adding a context and perspective that you can’t find in a textbook. Interviews collected will be added to the Carroll County History Project’s permanent online video archive. On November 11, 2025 these and other local veteran interviews will be featured on cable channels 19 and HD-1072 during special all-day programming in observance of Veterans Day.
Special thanks to our Gold Sponsors, Atlee Hill Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and Carroll Lutheran Village and to our Bronze Sponsor; Farmers and Merchants Bank for their generous support of this project.
