The
Veterans History Project was honored to be a part of the
National World War II Reunion. Throughout the
four-day reunion, the Veterans History Project volunteers
collected hundreds of stories on the National Mall (using tape-recorders)
and in the pavilion (using laptop computers).
In addition,
each day, special programs presented compelling accounts
from a variety of topics, including POWs, Tuskegee
Airmen, Code Talkers, Women in Wartime, and D-Day veterans.
These panels have been preserved and are now available
as Webcasts (select from the menu on the right). Also, we
are adding photos each day, giving a glimpse of the activities
of the weekend. Please come back often to view more images. The Veterans History Project wants your story!

The
United States Congress created the Veterans History Project
(VHP) to preserve
the memories of veterans and those who served in support
of them. VHP's collections are a growing
part of the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center,
where people
today and
future generations
can learn history from those who lived it.
