Veterans History Project
The Niles-Maine District Library, in partnership with the Library of Congress, has established a local Veterans History Project Collection to recognize and record the contributions of our nation’s veterans. These primary documents provide individual accounts of service memoirs during World War II, the Korean War and aftermath, and the Vietnam War.
This collection is an archive.
