The mission of the Veterans History Project is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the personal accounts of American wartime Veterans so that future generations may hear directly from Veterans and better understand the realities of war.

From talking to a reporter who has already taken some of these interviews, if you have time to help with this cause, you will definitely  be touched by this experience.

Please contact Monica Willenburg at monicaw352@sbcglobal.net or Frances Janzic at fbj.csr@gmail.com to help with this great cause.
