Veterans History Project
Preserving the Stories of Those Who Served
Share your story. Preserve your service. Inspire future generations.
The Veterans History Project collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American veterans so that their experiences and sacrifices become part of the nation’s permanent historical record.
Through the Library of Congress, your story can be preserved for future generations, researchers, and your own family.
