The Jeffersonville Rotary Club in 2009 continued with the previous efforts of volunteers in Clark County by participating in the Veterans History Project, sponsored by the Library of Congress. Project partners from across the country have volunteered to interview U.S. Veterans and record their stories and contribute them to a growing database of wartime service memories.

Our primary focus was on first-hand accounts of U.S. Veterans from the following wars:

World War I (1914-1920)
World War II (1939-1946)
Korean War (1950-1955)
Vietnam War (1961-1975)
Persian Gulf War (1990-1995)
Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present)

In addition, those U.S. citizen civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) were also invited to share their valuable stories.

Completed interviews are available in the Library of Congress and the Jeffersonville Public Library.
