Every Veteran Has a Story to Tell

November 11, 2011-September 3, 2012

Hear veterans from Iwo Jima to Afghanistan describe their experiences in Every Veteran Has a Story to Tell. This exhibit highlights oral history interviews conducted with Texas veterans from World War II to the present by the Voices of Veterans program. Visitors can access interactive kiosks to hear these extraordinary stories of fear, courage, duty and survival faced by everyday men and women in time of war.  The display also includes personal photographs and artifacts. 

To learn more and listen to the oral history interviews, visit Voices of Veterans at www.voicesofveterans.org
