Val Burgess, Director, Wars’ Voices ~ Professional Speaker, World War II Historian, Educator I share the history of WWII from a special vantage point, that of, the lives of US Prisoners of War. Attendees learn courage, resiliency, and the depth that people are capable of to survive. Ultimately, they created a better country, a better world and many changed their own lives. My professional speaking lifestyle means that I continually present stories of people that are held in my heart, the memories of WWII prisoners of war. They’ve changed my life in ways that I hardly recognize the person I’ve become. Hearing and understanding their stories will teach YOU remarkable skills to nourish your life.
