The mission of the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress American Folk life Center is to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of United States military Veterans so that future generations may hear directly from them and better understand the realities of war. Learn more on the Library of Congress website. In addition, Veterans Legacies, a non-profit organization is also working to ensure every veteran gets to tell their story.
