The full-length interviews are part of the Library of Congress Veterans Oral History Project and will be permanently preserved in the Library of Congress Archives. This project helps ensure that our veterans’ stories and experiences are preserved for future generations. The program concluded with guest speaker Patrick Henry Jolly, who spoke on the history of service and honor in our great nation.
