Today's generation
and future Americans have much to learn from those who served. A national
collection of personal histories on audio and video tape as well as letters,
diaries, maps, photographs and home movies will be of immeasurable value
to historians, educators, students, authors, filmmakers, and family members.
The Veterans History
Project encompasses veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam,
and Persian Gulf wars. By "Veterans," we mean all veterans,
men and women, those who served in war and in support of combat operations,
all ranks in all branches of service--the Army Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard. We also include the Merchant Marine, those involved
in home front activities and citizens who supported the armed services.
