2006 - Denise Fritz is a court report from Wisconsin. “We all know how busy life gets. Where do we find the
time to do volunteer work? It usually has to happen with the
assistance of others. With support from my family and my boss,
I was given the opportunity and the honor to transcribe stories
from the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. I hope fellow court reporters will participate in this new initiative
to record the stories of veterans in their lives and then transcribe
them. Be a part of our country’s history, and in doing
so create a history for our organization.”
