View full service history

Anna Whelan was a young single woman living in Rushville, a small town in Nebraska, when the U.S. entered World War II. All the young men in town were enlisting, and she decided she wanted to make her own contribution in uniform. Though she could not type, the Army assigned her secretarial duties. Her desire to go overseas was fulfilled when a general took her on his assistant and made the necessary arrangements. She shipped out to Brisbane, Australia, and was one of seven women picked to work in General Headquarters, home to General Douglas MacArthur’s office. When MacArthur and U.S. forces returned to the Philippines, Whelan and her colleagues were housed in primitive conditions in a boys’ school; one night they heard Tokyo Rose claim their building was going to be bombed, but only one explosive went off nearby.

Using VHP Material in Publication or Exhibition

The Veterans History Project (VHP) at the Library of Congress collects, preserves and makes accessible the firsthand recollections of U.S. military veterans who served from World War I through more recent conflicts and peacekeeping missions, so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did and felt during their service. The Veterans History Project Collection includes oral histories along with documentary materials such as original letters, diaries, photographs, and memoirs.

Veterans and interviewers contribute these materials to the Library for scholarly and educational purposes, retaining any copyright they may hold. Therefore, permission must be obtained before using the interview or other materials in exhibition or publication. Researchers or others who would like to make further use of these materials should contact the Veterans History Project for assistance.

As a publicly supported institution, the Library generally does not own rights to material in its collections. Therefore, it does not charge permission fees for use of such material and cannot give or deny permission to publish or otherwise distribute material in its collections. Responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item from the Library’s collections and for securing any necessary permissions rests with persons desiring to use the item.

Please contact us with questions.

Obtaining Copies of VHP Materials

In order for VHP materials to be duplicated, we must receive written permission from the interviewee for you to obtain a copy of the recording unless the proposed use is limited to personal use, research, or other uses permissible by copyright law. If the interviewee is deceased, their next-of-kin may grant written permission.

Please contact VHP for assistance if you need to contact a veteran for permission to use their materials in exhibition or publication, or if you have received permission from the veteran and need access to high-resolution copies of VHP collection materials.
