City High School students Josh Franklin. left, and Max Mason look over photographs with World War II veteran Warren Hayes, 85, from an album of pictures taken during Hayes' tour of duty in the Army. Approximately 80 students from City High School, in collaboration with the Voices project, have been documenting in words and photographs the recollections of veterans. The current project is an offspring of the Voices book, "They Opened Their Hearts: Elders Tell World War II Stories to Tucson Youth," which generated hundreds of calls from local veterans who also wanted to tell their stories, said Regina Kelly, executive director of Voices.
