I would come at it from the public institution that we are, focusing on that public history and that preservation and education. I think we would benefit from encouraging the recording of these stories and these experiences of veterans so that their stories are not forgotten. I think that many of our efforts during the planning for the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War made us realize how few veterans are left. It's very important to preserve their stories, their objects and their experiences so that we can educate future generations on their experiences.
