Experiencing War: Stories from the Veterans History Project

The Veterans History Project is a project of the American Folklore Center of the Library of Congress. The stories are not a formal history of war, but a treasure trove of individual feeling and personal recollections.

This project's primary focus is on first-hand accounts of U.S. Veterans from:
World War I (1914-1920)
World War II (1939-1946)
Korean War (1950-1955)
Vietnam War (1961-1975)
Persian Gulf War (1990-1995)
Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present)

In addition, those U.S. citizen civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) are also invited to share their valuable stories.
