The Columbia State Community College Student Veterans Organization, in collaboration with the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, is inviting U.S. military veterans to share their stories of service.
The Veterans History Project is an archive at the Library of Congress that preserves narratives of veterans’ service through oral history interviews and documents such as photographs, letters, journals and diaries created while in the military, so that researchers and future generations can access these firsthand accounts and better understand the realities of war.
“We’re proud to be here supporting the Veteran’s History project from the Library of Congress, this is our third year doing it,” said Bobby Toothaker, Columbia State facility support specialist and one of the co-advisors for the Student Veterans Organization. “This is a really great project because what we’re doing here today is forever. The stories that come out of here go to the Library of Congress and will be in their archives forever. It’s all about service.”
