"Every day we lose slivers of history from our military men and women who have defended our freedoms. Some have never told their story; others have kept it buried in their minds. Let's give them a voice."
       ~ Col. (Ret.) Jimmy F Blackmon

We have a great love and passion for our veterans and their stories, which is why we are honored to direct the Hear Our Heroes™ initiative. There are currently 21.8 million veterans living in the United States. Less than 1% have told their stories. With the help of your sponsorship, we have the privilege of documenting the stories that belong to our heroes on a scale that surpasses anything that has ever been done before.

Through Hear Our Heroes™, our veterans have a chance to present history in their own words. Not a history left to the interpretation of a textbook author, but an eyewitness account directly from those who have lived it.

Lost Voices

Language is more then simply a collection of words. Languages are based on entirely different histories, spiritual beliefs, scientific and natural-world understandings; in short language is far more then just a way to communicate. Language does not just reflect a culture; in a functional sense it is the culture.
 

We strive to preserve the distinctiveness and stories of cultures so they can live on forever. Of the estimated 7,000 languages spoken in the world today nearly half are in danger of extinction and are likely to disappear in this century. When a language becomes extinct, a community collapses. That group loses the ability to speak their mother tongue, and to pass it on to their children. In short, the whole culture is ultimately lost.

Of the many languages that are in crisis, many are spoken by only a handful of elderly people. They are fighting against enormous odds, often alone, always unsung. Most important, they are not just fighting for the survival of their own culture, they are fighting for the heritage of human culture as a whole. Unless we take action now, these languages and cultures will be lost forever.

World Voice uses specialized and secure proprietary technology that captures, preserves, and shares these languages and cultures with the world, thus ensuring their survival.

With your support we can continue in the preservation and continued growth of these precious cultures, languages and people.
