Every day we lose 500 WWII veterans. In just a few short years most of these amazing heroes will have passed into history.
This Memorial Day honor a veteran by sharing their story on the Veterans Legacies Database. Your participation will help to ensure that future generations will never forget these amazing veterans.
Below are some highlighted videos from the Veterans Legacies Project. For more videos, and more information about how to contribute stories, videos, documents and photographs, visit www.veteranslegacies.com.
