Local veterans are invited to participate in the veteran’s history project

ROCHELLE– Unity Hospice of Western Illinois is inviting veterans of Boone, Ogle, and surrounding counties to share their stories of wartime for inclusion in the Library of Congress through a nationally-recognized program called the Veterans History Project.

One of the world’s most respected research and cultural institutions, the Library of Congress will preserve these stories for future generations to help them better understand American history and the realities of war.

Interested veterans are invited to Unity Hospice’s office building, located in Rochelle, Ill., at 1201 S. 7th St., to share their personal military narrative in the form of unedited video recorded interviews. Read more about the Veterans History Project on their website at http://www.loc.gov/vets/.
