A Project to Preserve Our Nation's History

Authorized by Congress, the Veterans History Project is an effort by the Library of Congress to collect the stories and experiences of America's
war veterans and the people supported them at home.

The Navy Memorial Foundation unites sea
veterans through efforts such as the Navy log registration, member search, and group reunion information.

This work just isn't possible without the
dedication of thousands of volunteers. Learn
how you can help preserve a piece of America's history.
