Echoes of War brings to life the struggles, misery, horror and humanity of war as told by the veterans who witnessed them firsthand. Much more than a television program, it is a Digital Media Experience – a live, interactive, educational program and companion website – that will engage those who encounter it. The live broadcast will originate from the First Division Museum at Cantigny in Wheaton, Illinois, providing viewers the ability to interact with war veterans and the program’s hosts via the Internet or by phone. Imagine – those tuning in at home or in high schools, colleges or universities across the country will be able to ask questions of 1st Infantry Division veterans, Ball State University historians, or Cantigny museum curators. This will be a truly unique virtual classroom experience.
