(Largo, MD)-  Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) will kick off the Book Bridge Project at Prince George's Community College on Tuesday, April 5th, 2005 at 10am. The project pairs Seniors from the college's Seasoned Adults Growing through Education program with younger students. The Veterans will share their war-time experiences and the younger students will transcribe their stories. The accounts will eventually be housed at the Library of Congress as part of the "Veterans History Project".

"Throughout our nation's history thousands of American men and women have answered the call and served their country in a time of war. I am privileged to be a part of this oral history project that gives these Veterans a chance to share their stories of courage and bravery with younger generations. The Veteran's stories will be chronicled and housed in the Library of Congress so they can live on through history," said Congressman Ruppersberger.
