The Veterans History Project (VHP) of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war. Each veteran will be required to write a short story about his or her most memorable experience while in the military. The VHP Field Kit will be used to provide assistance and consistency in the story format. The Kit’s Biography and Sample Interview Questions will be used to prepare the story. Presentations will include our veterans reading their stories. The readings may be videotaped or recorded for future transmittal to the VHP.
