The Living History Project
Military.com, in
conjunction with its partners, is dedicated to collecting and preserving the
personal histories of those who served to protect our nation.
As these stories are
collected, they will be posted on a frequent basis so that current and future
generations can learn of and appreciate the courage and sacrifices made by these
brave men and women.
