To encourage Kansas veterans to share their stories with the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project, U.S. Senator Pat Roberts interviewed U.S. Senator Bob Dole to preserve his recollections of service for future generations. Senator Dole served in the Army in World War II and Senator Roberts is the most senior Marine in the Congress.

In the coming months, Senator Roberts will interview other Kansas veterans for the project and will encourage others to share their oral history with the Veteran’s History Project for the purpose of being put on permanent display in the Library of Congress.

For more information, please contact our Overland Park office at (913) 451-9343 and ask for Chelsea Chaney or Kay Sharp.


Veterans History Project

Note: Fields marked with an * are required.

The United States Congress created the Veterans History Project (VHP) in 2000 as part of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, one of the world’s most respected research and cultural institutions.  VHP’s mission is to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of American wartime veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.
