Stories From America’s Conflicts![]() Veterans, Share Your StoriesEncouraging Veterans to Share Their War ExperiencesHow to Begin
There is much to learn from our nation’s veterans; however, for some, it can be painful to revisit the memories and difficult to talk about the experiences of war. Families and friends are often very curious about those times but, because the veteran may not bring them up, the loved ones feel they shouldn't either. Each veteran’s experience with war is an important part of history that should be passed on to future generations. And, though difficult, sharing these stories can have a powerful healing effect both for veterans and their families. The form below provides an opportunity for you to write about your experiences. Sometimes sharing your story the first time is the most difficult part of all. Please share your story with us by submitting answers to some or all of the questions below. We have posted a sampling of the submissions we have received and will post more in the future. Please indicate on the form whether we have your permission to post your submission. How to BeginThe following questions were developed to help start the conversation.
The above questionnaire was compiled by Helen Fitzgerald (CT), author and lecturer, and her husband, a veteran of WWII. Source material is from the website of the National World War II Museum New Orleans. Veterans Oral History SitesThere are many organizations striving to preserve the oral histories of veterans of America’s conflicts, such as: The Library of Congress Veterans History Project The National WWII Museum Utah Education Network: Veterans’ Oral History Resources The Vietnam Center and Archive Oral History Project
