Record a Veteran's Story
The Veterans History Project collects firsthand accounts of American war veterans so their stories are preserved at the Library of Congress. Volunteers interview a veteran, record it following simple guidelines, and submit the recording to the archive. It is a meaningful way to honor service and connect with living history.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
