Are you a veteran? Do you have something to say? Your story needs to be told.
The Syosset Library is proud to participate in the Veteran's History Project, an oral history initiative spanning the decades from World War I to the present. Its mission is to collect, preserve and make accessible the first-hand knowledge of America's wartime veterans. |
