This is a website that I think every American should browse through and listen to the stories of these veterans. World War I veterans are gone and we are losing our World War II veterans at an alarming rate. This is one way to keep their stories alive!!
They are also looking for anyone that has a veteran in their family that has a story to tell. Here is what they are looking for.
The focus of the Veterans History Project is first-hand accounts of U.S. veterans who served in the following wars and conflicts:
World War, 1914-1918
World War, 1939-1945
Cold War
Korean War, 1950-1953
Vietnam War, 1961-1975

Operation Restore Hope, 1992-1993

It's good that we are preserving the oral history of the Heros of past conflicts. Must have been a major undertaking. Well worth the effort though. Some of these guys won't be with us longer. I wish I could remember more of what my father-in-law told me about his exploits in North Africa and on into Germany. Liberated a bit of wine and women apparently, but those where the good parts of the stories!
