HOW YOU CAN HELP
Zack Brown
Through an Act of Congress in the year 2000, my colleagues and I created the Veterans History Project with the purpose of preserving American history by recording the oral histories of American veterans. The Veterans History Project collects first-hand accounts of America’s veterans through audio and video recordings and with collections of original photographs, letters, and diaries. All interviews and donated items will be preserved for posterity by the Library of Congress. These donated materials may become part of a future exhibition from the Library of Congress for visitors from around the world to see. In the coming months, my office will be reaching out to veterans across Alaska and recruiting those who wish to have their stories of service preserved in the Library of Congress for generations to come. The sacrifices our heroes made for our freedom must never be forgotten, and if this project is to be successful, we will need all hands on deck to raise awareness to Alaska’s 70,000 veterans.�

In the coming months, my office will be scheduling interviews with Alaska's veterans. The Library of Congress offers three ways to participate in the Veterans History Project: 1) A veteran or Gold Star family member may participate in a 30 minute video interview with a member of my staff. 2) A veteran may also submit 20 or more pages of original, unpublished memoirs of their service. 3) Finally, a veteran may donate 10 or more original photographs, letters, or 2-dimensional works of art. My staff will be scheduling interviews in my Anchorage and Fairbanks offices for the remainder of the year, and we would greatly appreciate your participation. If you, or a veteran you know are interested, please contact my office at:�
