Rep. Kind Delivers 162 Veterans History Project Stories to Library of Congress

La Crosse, WI – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (WI-03) delivered 162 Veterans’ stories collected by Mr. Bill Cain’s students at Tomah High School over 15 years to the Library of Congress. These tapes will now become a part of the national Veterans History Project Archive.

“I was honored to deliver these important stories to the Library of Congress, where they will be preserved for future generations,” Rep. Kind said. “I hope everyone will join me in continuing to grow the project. I urge everyone to ask veterans they know to record their stories. This is the last ask of a grateful nation to our veterans.”

Last year on Veterans Day Rep. Kind joined Tomah High School students to pack up the videos, and discuss the importance of the Veterans History Project. In 2000, Rep. Ron Kind authored, and Congress unanimously passed, legislation creating the VHP, which has since allowed veterans to record more than 100,000 stories and preserve them in the Library of Congress for future generations.
