2. Girl Scout in Search of Veterans for Gold Award Project My name is Erika Trapp, I am a Durham resident and a Girl Scout. I am currently working on my Gold Award project, the highest award achievable in scouts. I am putting together a documentary of on-camera interviews with veterans from all conflicts. The interviews will also be sent to the Library of Congress for preservation for future generations. 

If you are interested in having an interview conducted, please get into contact with me ASAP, I will only be able to conduct interviews until August 16th, 2012.
