ART FM is presently conducting audio interviews which we will donate to the Library of Congress where they will become part of the Veterans History Project's permanent collection. In this way, the personal accounts of our veterans will be accessible and well preserved so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and have a better understanding of what they did, saw, and felt.
