It takes a special kind of person to put on the uniform in defense of our nation and those who do are a living, breathing pieces of the history of the United States. That’s why I’m so excited to share with you a new opportunity to help veterans in our community share their story with the nation.

Our 18th District Congressional office is seeking volunteers to help conduct interviews with veterans from across our community to be submitted to the Library of Congress as a part of the Veterans History Project. This project is a great opportunity for the community to come together and help veterans share their story with the nation and preserve it for generations to come.

I recently shared my story as a part of the Veterans History Project, and I hope you’ll consider helping our veterans share theirs, too. If you or someone you know might be interested in volunteering, please sign up to attend a training session that will give you all the tools you need to help your 18th Congressional District staff with this special project:
