Valor's Voice

Valor's Voice Fulfilling the promise to never forget by remembering, restoring, and reuniting. Vets are provided with a free DVD of the interview.

We fulfill the promise to never forget in 3 specific ways:

Remembering...we travel onsite and conduct interviews with vets, Gold Star family members, etc., which are put on our FB and our website (official launch in 2012 for full site). We use our i'views in schools, assemblies, etc. Every veteran that dies is history lost. Stone monuments and memorials aren't enough anymore. We have a chance to

save our history with technology that is now available to create living memorials. We also preserve relics and artifacts which we display during presentations. We're attempting to become the largest private veteran archive in the world. Restoring...all veterans deserve a break...especially combat vets. Beginning in 2012, we'll start putting vets and their families up for a week at time, all expenses paid, at various vacation spots. We're asking people to donate cabins, condos, or homes they no longer use. All gifts are tax deductible. Reuniting...many vets would like to see old friends they served with one last time before they pass. Beginning in 2012, we'll start trying to make that happen. Whether it's individual reunions or whole battalions, vets deserve this act of gratitude.

🇺🇸 Happy 100th Birthday to Harold Nelson! 🎉

Today we celebrate an American hero and a member of the Greatest Generation.

Harold Nelson proudly served in the United States Navy from 1944–1946 aboard the USS Cowpens (CVL-25). During June 1945, the Cowpens was relentlessly launching aircraft into combat as the war in the Pacific drew to its dramatic conclusion.

After Japan’s surrender, the Cowpens became the first aircraft carrier to enter Tokyo Bay, marking a historic moment at the end of World War II. Harold also took part in Operation Magic Carpet, helping bring thousands of American service members home after their sacrifices overseas.

The USS Cowpens earned an incredible 12 battle stars for her World War II service—more than the USS Missouri—and today Harold is believed to be the last living crew member from that legendary ship.

Mr. Nelson, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your example. Because of men like you, freedom endured for generations to come. Valor’s Voice was honored to help the community honor you at the 250th celebration a few weeks ago where the Mayor paid you a special visit. We look forward to capturing your story and getting you to your museum.

Please join us in wishing Harold Nelson a very happy 100th Birthday! 🇺🇸

Two of America’s Greatest Generation. Two remarkable stories of courage. One unforgettable evening.
It was an incredible honor for Valor’s Voice to recognize Otis Branon and Harold Nelson on stage during the Liberty Celebration at the Sand Mountain Amphitheater in Albertville, Alabama.
🇺🇸 Otis Branon served with the U.S. Army in the Pacific and fought during the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
🇺🇸 Harold Nelson served with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific and is the last surviving crew member of the USS Cowpens (CVL-25).
These men answered our nation’s call when freedom depended on ordinary Americans willing to do extraordinary things. Because of their sacrifice, generations have lived in liberty.
Over the next week, we’ll be sharing their photos, videos, and personal stories. We hope you’ll follow along, share their stories, and help us fulfill the promise to never forget.
Please join us in thanking these American heroes for their service and sacrifice.
🇺🇸 Thank you, Otis. Thank you, Harold. We will never forget.
