Veteran's History Project

Every day, America loses approximately 1,500 veterans, and with each one goes a piece of America's History.

In response to this urgent need, the U.S. Congress created the Veterans History project in October of 2000. This legislation calls upon the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress to collect and preserve audio- and videotaped oral histories, along with documents such as letters, diaries, maps, photographs, and home movies, of America's war veterans and those who served in support of them during times of armed conflict.

As a proud partner of the Library of Congress and the American Folklife Center, militarylife.com is working to collect and preserve these precious wartime memories. All personal histories and documents submitted to miltarylifestyle.com will become part of the Library of Congress and the American Folklife Center's National Veterans History Collection.

This section of militarylife.com provides information about the project and invites your participation in this national effort.
