Project Veteran aims to capture the stories of all veterans for younger generations to understand the history of those who served their country with pride in America. It has been a collaboration project between the Department of Leadership Studies and the Department of History at Fort Hays State University.
This project is aimed mainly towards WWII veterans in hopes to capture their stories during the war as they are getting older, losing their memories and are dying. I also want to include the veterans of other wars too because their stories are just important and valuable to the world and it provides insight about the history of why and what they were fighting for. As a team, Project Veteran has gained community support through interviews, photos, and letters even from veterans who have already passed. We thank them for their service. Every recorded interview will be submitted to the Library of Congress along with pictures and other memorabilia. Our hope for this project is to provide a way for students, family & community members, and fellow veterans to involve themselves in these living moments of history and be able to look back on those trying but triumphant times. |
