Celebrate the true meaning of Memorial Day with eight virtual portraits of military heroes.
Join the Veterans Story Collecting Project as it looks at the experiences of Kansas City veterans during their military service and return to civilian life.
As a reprise of its popular, heartfelt commemoration, the Project interviewed area veterans from all branches, demographics and walks of life. From these interviews, eight portraits were created to be performed by area teaching artists and actors during a livestreaming event.
The portraits will be released and livestreamed on Sunday, May 30, at 5 p.m. CDT.
