Honor our Veterans by recording their histories

The Veterans Administration and the Library of Congress Veterans History Project have a special message for all Americans this Veterans Day - Honor our Veterans. Record their histories!

By recording the oral histories of our Veterans, we preserve the human face of American history for generations to come and honor those men and women who swore to protect and defend the United States.

The Veterans History Project (VHP) collects and preserves the remembrances of American war veterans and civilian workers who supported them.

These collections of first-hand accounts are archived in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for use by researchers and to serve as an inspiration for generations to come.
