Subject: [NEWGEN] AMERICAN VETERANS .. The Veterans History Project
Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2003 03:22:30 -0700


AMERICAN VETERANS. The Veterans History Project covers
World War I, World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and
Persian Gulf wars. It includes all participants in those wars--
men and women, civilian and military. It documents contributions
of civilian volunteers, support staff, and war industry workers
as well as the experiences of military personnel from all ranks and all
branches of service--the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and
Navy. All Americans are encouraged to participate. By
interviewing a veteran or war worker as part of the Veterans
History Project, you honor those who served our nation during
difficult and dangerous periods in our history. It is essential
to recognize, as Congress did, the importance of preserving a
permanent record of your interviews for future generations of
Americans to consult. Please follow carefully the instructions
in the Project Kit
http://www.loc.gov/folklife/vets/kit.html
to ensure that your recording lasts and will be accessible to
researchers and the public, both now and in the future. Plan to
donate your interview to the American Folklife Center at the
Library of Congress or to one of our Official Partner
organizations in your area who will help us preserve the
National Veterans History Collection. Your cooperation will
greatly assist the Library of Congress and the American Folklife
Center in organizing and making publicly available this large
and important collection. We invite veterans, active military
personnel, and civilians to join our Volunteer Corps. Volunteers
are the individuals who interview war veterans and identify
documents to donate. If you are a veteran, you possess a
valuable resource in your war memories and military knowledge,
and we especially encourage you to participate as both an
interviewer and an interviewee. Our Project Kit
http://www.loc.gov/folklife/vets/kit.html
contains all the information and forms you need to participate
as a volunteer interviewer.
