MY COMMITMENT TO VHP
In completing this application, I am committing to:
Treat the veteran(s) I meet with the utmost honor and respect during the interview and writing process.
Complete the first draft within one month of the interview, and all the subsequent steps on the Oral History Tracker by December 15 (pictures with captions, required forms, and bio) so the story can be included in that year’s copy of Since You AskedTM.
Regularly communicate with the veteran(s) I interview throughout the writing process to ensure their approval of my written story of their service, and to collect any additional information needed to tell a complete and accurate story.
Give my best effort in ensuring the veteran’s written story is of the highest quality (complete, accurate, well-edited) before submitting it for publication in Since You AskedTM by completing all steps on the Oral History Tracker and complying with the Essay Formatting Guidelines document.
Notify the veteran(s) I interview of the date, time, and location of the Reception & Book Signing Event where they will receive their copy of the book and participate in a book signing.
Follow through on the promise to archive the veteran’s story in the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress by helping my teacher advisor collect and mail all required materials before the school year ends.
Signed,

(By signing your full name here, you are agreeing to abide by all six commitments stated above)
