Join the annual Veterans History Project

Registration is open until Oct. 25 for the 19th Judicial Circuit Court’s annual Veterans History Project.

Veterans will be interviewed by volunteer lawyers regarding their wartime experiences and oral histories recorded and transcribed by court reporters and archived in the Library of Congress Veterans History Project.

These firsthand accounts of American war veterans will be accessible online as an inspiration for future generations and for research to better understand the realities of war.

Civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (war industry workers, such as “Rosie the Riveter,” USO workers, civilian flight instructors and pilots, medical personnel, etc.) also are invited to share their stories.
