In recognition of their service to our country, military veterans wearing their unit jackets, hats, or showing proper identification at the ticket desk will receive complimentary admission to the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda from November 9 to 15, 2009.

American veterans will be honored during a public ceremony on the historic aircraft carrier on Veteran’s Day, Wednesday, November 11, beginning at 11 a.m.

The guest speaker will be Randall J. Ramian, Chief Executive Officer of the USS Hornet Museum. A commander, Supply Corps, in the Naval Reserve, Ramian has held numerous leadership positions in the U.S. Navy including commanding and executive officer. He was recalled to active duty in 2004 – 2005 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, and served as deputy commander/chief of staff of a transportation group at a major Kuwaiti port with distribution responsibilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Djibouti.
Music will be provided by the USS Hornet Band. The Color Guard will be provided by Boy Scouts Troop 152 and Adventure Scouts Unit 152 from Oakley who are led by a former crew member of the USS Hornet.

Admission is $6-$14 for the general public, and there is ample free parking across from the pier.

The aircraft carrier USS Hornet is the Bay Area’s largest veteran. Permanent exhibits feature over 15 Navy and Marines aircraft and helicopters from various eras including a TBM Avenger from WWII, an F-14 Tomcat from Desert Storm, and an F-4 Phantom from Vietnam.

The Storytellers Project by StoryOfMyLife.com presents:

Veterans Online Museum Stories Project

Wed Oct 21, 10am to 4pm (WWII Veterans Oct 19th, 10am to 4pm), Oakland

MORE INFO: http://www.storytellersproject.com/tour/tour.aspx

On October 19 and 21, The Storytellers Project will conduct two oral history day-long events designed to collect and preserve the personal recollections of U.S. wartime Veterans, as well as homefront civilians who worked in support of the armed forces, to honor their service and share their stories with current and future generations.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that World War II Veterans are dying at a rate of 1,056 a day - more than 385,000 a year. Of the approximately 16 million Americans who served in the armed forces during WWII, estimates are that fewer than 4 million are alive today. As these individuals slip away, so does the opportunity to capture their unique stories.

The two Storytellers Project event days, taking place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday October 19 (WWII/Survivors of Pearl Harbor) and Wednesday October 21 (all other Veterans) at Oakland Veteran's Hall, 200 Grand Avenue at Harrison St., Oakland, CA, 94610, is designed by experienced oral historians trained in capturing and preserving America's wartime experiences. The events are hosted by the California Pearl Harbor Association and the Veteran's Memorial Building in Oakland.

"Story of My Life, a modern-day online museum, helps me and other Veterans keep our memories and stories alive, so that no one forgets us," says Mickey Ganitch, California Pearl Harbor Association State Treasurer.

By making Veterans' stories available online, it is possible to help the public learn what it was like to have served in America's military and wars. If you or a family member served in the military and would like to participate in an oral history interview, please contact us at (925) 684-4424 or tour@storyofmylife.com or write to:
