Veteran's History Project Initiative

Return to Community  
The Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress is working to preserve this important part of our heritage for future generations by collecting oral histories, memoirs, diaries, letters and other documents that capture the experiences of those who have served our nation in time of war.

I am proud to support the Veterans History Project by encouraging residents of Michigan's 12th Congressional District to participate in this historic effort. There are several ways residents of the 12th District can be involved:

  • Individuals can interview a friend, neighbor, or family member who served in the military or supported the armed forces as a civilian during war time. For more information on how to record and submit a history to the Veterans History Project click here.
  • The City of Southfield Veterans Commission collects veterans' histories each week at the Southfield Public Library. Any area wartime veteran that would like to have his or her story recorded by the Southfield Veterans Commission contact Daniel Brightwell at 248-796-4VET (248-796- 4838) or southfieldvets@cityofsouthfield.com.
  • Veterans groups, schools, individuals or organizations that would like more information on how they can be involved in the Veterans History Project can contact Alan Mlynek in my office at 202-225-4961 or email alan.mlynek@mail.house.gov.
