Thanks for visiting the Veterans’ Voices Project page!
On this page:
This project is conducted by Veterans, for Veterans. Many military service members have never told their story, this is their chance to do it. Recording and archiving these stories preserves them for future generations.
The Veterans’ Voices Project is a combined effort by Wright State University’s Veteran and Military Center and local NPR station WYSO . Wright State veteran students record video interviews of Veterans ranging from World War II to the current conflicts. These interviews are then stored in both The Library of Congress and Wright State University archives.
Another aspect to this project is our partnership with the local NPR affiliate WYSO. WYSO will be airing pieces focusing on successes and struggles of Dayton area Post 9/11 veterans.
