The experiences of our service members and veterans in defending our freedoms is a critical component of our nation’s history.
That is why I am excited to partner with the Library of Congress on their landmark Veterans History Project. This undertaking seeks to preserve the stories and experiences of American veterans from WW1 to present conflicts, so that future generations can hear directly from veterans to better understand what they witnessed, the duties they performed, and the experiences they had during their service to our country.
To make this exciting project a success, our office is seeking volunteers for the following types of contributions: (1) Veteran Service Organizations or local history groups who would be willing to host a Veterans History Project Workshop with our office in which 10-15 veteran interviews are conducted, (2) veterans who would be willing to share their experiences on camera so their story isn’t lost to time, and (3) veterans or historians who would be willing to interview participants on their experiences during war. If you’re interested in assisting with this project in any of these capacities, please fill out your information on the form below, and our office will be in touch with opportunities to volunteer. You are also welcome to call my District Office for more information at 916-724-2575.
You can find a virtual training session to assist in interviewing veterans, here. Check out our PSA here.
