25 Years of Stories: A Decade Directing the Veterans History Project

Posted by: Kerry Ward

As the Veterans History Project celebrates 25 years, Col. Bob Patrick, U.S. Army (Ret.), reflects on a decade of growth, outreach and unexpected treasures. From working with Ken Burns to preserving veterans’ stories and personal artifacts, he shares how VHP became a national archive capturing the voices, memories and experiences of America’s veterans. More than history on a page, these stories capture the experiences of those who lived it.
