Veterans History Project

(http://www.loc.gov/vets)

Through recorded inter­views and other doc­u­ments, the Vet­er­ans His­tory Project will chron­i­cle vet­er­ans’ and other cit­i­zens’ wartime expe­ri­ences, and the effect these expe­ri­ences had in their lives. AMVETS is proud to be a found­ing part­ner in this valu­able pro­gram to honor our nation’s vet­er­ans and those who served in sup­port of them. The Vet­er­ans His­tory Project is a part of the Library of Con­gress and its Amer­i­can Folk­life Center.
