Good afternoon,
The Virtual Footlocker Project (VFP) is working to develop a system to assist veterans and active-duty military to capture and preserve their records of their time in service such as photographs, videos, emails, and blogs. This project is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and we are reaching out to you to ask for your assistance in recruiting participants for online focus groups.
We are looking for enlisted and officer active duty or veterans who served at least one year between 2005 and 2020 to participate.
The focus groups will occur at the following dates:
Army: June 9-10, 13-14
Marine Corps: June 23-24, 27-28
Navy: July 7-8, 11-12
Coast Guard: July 14-15, 18-19
Air Force: July 21-22, 25-26
Women Only: August 1 & 8
Focus groups will start at 6:30 pm on weeknights, Saturdays 2 pm, Sundays 3 pm. All times in Central Daylight Time.
Each participant will be compensated $150 following completion of the focus group.
Please forward this information and the attached flyer to anyone who may be interested.
