VHP Director Issues Call for Women’s War Stories

“Women of Four Wars,” a new online presentation accessible on the Veterans History Project Web site, is a call to action for volunteer interviewers to record the stories of America’s female wartime veterans. “Thanks to volunteers nationwide, the Library of Congress has preserved the recollections of more than 55,000 veterans,” said Bob Patrick, director of the Veterans History Project. “Yet, fewer than 4,000 of those interviews are from women. We need more personal accounts from female veterans, and we need the American public to record them.”
