NHD Update

Hello Everyone!
 I just wanted to write a quick update on my National History Day project.

 I have received an extraordinary offer to show my film at the annual meeting of The National League of POW/MIA Families. The League is a group of relatives of those still missing from the Vietnam War. They lobby the government on accounting issues and also are a support network for families still missing relatives. Their national convention is the second week of June in Washington D.C.. The event will be attended by hundreds of family members of men still missing, as well as numerous military officials, many whom I have read about during my research! These are the people who are affected by the work that my documentary's about, and I believe that they will appreciate the documentary more than any National History Day judge ever could. I will be presenting on Thursday night at the memorial and candlelight banquet. The banquet is one of the larger events that they hold during the conference. I will give a brief introduction to my documentary, before showing my documentary to the attendees. I can't say how much of an honor this is. I believe that this is a part  of God's plan for this documentary.

As the conference is in Washington D.C., this means another trip for the Myers! I will give you updates on the trip when we get underway. The conference is from June 11th through the 14th. The candlelight memorial banquet is June 12th. We will also be in Washington while my brother competes in the national competition of NHD, so this will be a long trip. I look forward to blogging about it! Thanks for reading!

National History Day 2014

Hello Everyone!
 Yesterday was the State National History Day competition. I competed with my film "Recovering the Missing: Their Right, Our Responsibility." This was my favorite film that I have produced, and my most professional looking piece of work ever. Unfortunately, I placed third and will not proceed to the national competition in Washington D.C. this June. While this really stinks, I feel that God has another purpose for this film, and that he will prevail. I am currently looking into my options on what to do with the film. In the meantime, I wanted to share the documentary with you, and see what you think of it. Please leave your comments below. If you would like a copy of my bibliography and process paper, I can email you a copy, if you leave a comment. I hope you enjoy the film. Thanks for reading!
