CORSAIR II TALES PREPARES TO LAUNCH!
A world-class video history of the A-7 community will preserve our stories
for generations to come - your support is needed!
99 Corsairs:
You may be aware that the first line in our Association's mission statement reads:
"The A-7 Corsair II Association’s mission is to document the history of the A-7 airplane and those who flew and maintained it..."
For some time now your Association has had an interest in organizing a project that will allow us to document and preserve our shared history. Specifically, this project would allow us to record oral and video stories told by both our Members and other key people in the A-7 community. While this interest remains constant, the commitment of resources, coupled with the technical and logistical requirements, has kept the desire to launch such a project just that...a desire.
Your Association's Executive Director, Mat "Irish" Garretson, has agreed to head up the team to tackle the logistics and production of these recordings. What remains to be completed is the ability to adequately fund the project. To that end, we have created a funding campaign on the crowd-funding platform, Indiegogo. The goal of the campaign is to provide the financial means to support the recording of oral & video histories of key people within the A-7 community. The results of these efforts will be available from the A-7 Corsair II Association website, our YouTube channel, as well as other social media outlets.
Details of this campaign and the ability for you to make a contribution may be found by clicking here.
We hope that you will take the time to review the campaign, and the plans to document A-7 history through interviews and storytelling. Of course, it is also our hope that you will actively support it through your donations. Your contribution of any amount will surely help us in this effort. Simply put, the more we raise, the more stories we can do.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Irish directly. His email is a7ciia@gmail.com
