The materials presented as part of "Experiencing War: Stories from the Veterans History Project" have been received by the Library of Congress directly from veterans and civilians who have served in support of them, volunteers, and folklorists in the field. The selections we made are of the best quality available for online presentation, given the condition of the originals. Your viewing and listening experience may vary, depending on the quality of the original donated source materials, your computer and viewing software, and Internet traffic.

The video and audio portions of this presentation require the RealPlayer, available freely from the RealMedia Web site. If you do not currently have the RealPlayer installed on your PC, go to www.real.com and look for the link to "Free RealOne Player" (upper right corner of the home page). On the following screen, select the link to "Download the Free RealOne Player" (lower right corner of the page).
