As the Library of Congress reminds us, “with Memorial Day approaching, you can help us save the story of a veteran you might know, through our Veterans History Project.”
The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center
The Project collects first-hand accounts of
· World War I (1914-1920)
· World War II (1939-1946)
· Korean War (1950-1955)
· Vietnam War (1961-1975)
· Persian Gulf War (1990-1995)
· Afghanistan and Iraq
If you or a veteran you know would like to participate, details can be found here. If you want to see if a particular veteran’s recollections are already included you can search the database. If there is a digital collection available that will be indicated with a box stating “View Digital Collection.” The digital collections can include audio of an interview, photographs, letters written, diaries, and so much more.
Even if you don’t have a veteran in your family, the collective history assembled here is just incredible and invaluable to us as a nation.
