National World War II Reunion "Tribute to a Generation" (Veterans History Project)

National WWII Reunion Home >> Share Your Wartime Experience

Please share a snapshot of your story of wartime service by completing this form. Your submission will be added to a special collection at the Library of Congress gathering veterans' stories leading up to and during the reunion.

Because your complete story is longer than you can record here and because it is important to tell your whole story, please consider sending the Veterans History Project an oral history interview, written memoir, letter collection, or photo collection after completing this form. To assist you with this, you will receive a project kit in the mail after the reunion.

Make sure to select the "Submit Story" button at the bottom of this form in order to send us your story. Thank you!
