Veterans History Stories - VBC Veterans History Project

VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT

Preserving veterans’ stories so that this living history is never forgotten.

The VBC Veterans History Project pairs volunteer interviewers with military veterans for one-on-one oral history interviews over Zoom. There’s no charge for an interview, and the recording is the veteran’s to keep.

Maybe you’re a veteran interested in telling your story. Or the spouse, child, grandchild, or neighbor of a veteran whose memories should be shared while they can. Or maybe you just love history and veterans’ stories and would like to conduct interviews. If any of these sound like you, let us know!
