SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: In Their Boots: Poems Inspired by Soldiers and Their Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:Program organizers have a choice between two related\, but different\, programs. Both are inspirational\, patriotic\, and riveting. \nProgram 1: “In Our Boots: Poems Inspired by Soldiers and Their Loved Ones\,” is a multi-media poetry performance inspired by LaFrancis’s seven years of interviews with soldiers who served in Iraq and their loved ones. The presentation includes readings from the collection\, music and a PowerPoint presentation. \nProgram 2: “In Their Boots: Voices of Our Soldiers” has been presented to churches\, libraries\, schools\, military organizations\, private groups\, non-profit organizations\, and other groups. This is a stirring\, unique\, inspiring look into the heart and soul of soldiers from all wars\, but especially World War II. This program includes video excerpts from LaFrancis’s interviews with World War II veterans. \nAs a veteran of 23 years (active duty during the Vietnam War era and Air National Guard) and as a writer for more than 30 years\, LaFrancis is professionally and personally qualified to offer what is a moving and unique presentation. LaFrancis has more than 25 years experience as a professional speaker and presenter\, particularly on the topics of creative writing and journalism. With the war ever-present in our lives\, his presentation of the experiences of the soldiers and their loved ones will enlighten and engage a wide range of audiences.
