Liberating Buchenwald
In April of 2009, my boss, our video producer and myself had the honor of interviewing a World War II veteran who participated in the Liberation of Buchenwald.
Virgil Myers, then a member of the 80th Division, recalled his time in Europe from landing on the beaches of France shortly after D-Day to his time in Austria.
We spent a mere two and a half hours with Mr. Myers and could have easily spent all day with him. Even after all these years, his memory was still tack sharp.
To read an excerpt from the story and read the entire transcript of his interview, visit the Army Reserve website.
