VHP: The First Ten Years (Experiencing War: Stories from the Veterans History Project, Library of Congress
In October 2000, the U.S. Congress passed legislation creating the Veterans History Project. To mark the Project’s tenth anniversary, VHP staff members selected these collections as among their favorites and as representative of the diversity and depth of the Project. Some have been featured in previous installments of Experiencing War, while others will be new to users of this site. Each illuminates the wartime veteran experience in ways that are thoughtful and touching.
