Oral
histories form the heart of the Veterans History Project collections,
but there are many other ways to tell the story of service during
wartime. If one picture is worth a thousand words, then the collections
featured below contain several books' worth. Here are veterans who
documented their experiences with paintbrushes, sketching pens,
and camera lenses. From Vietnam photographs by Aldo Panzieri to
WWII GI portraits by Mimi Korach Lesser, these collections tell
tales that mere words cannot describe. Though many of these collections
do contain interviews and documents, it is their artwork that is
the truly eloquent testimony to all facets of war. [ Read
