The new submissions mark more than 100 interviews conducted by Boozman\u2019s office.\n\n\u201cThe Veterans History Project is a unique collection of personal reflections that teaches our nation\u2019s history from the perspective of those who have stood in defense of our freedoms. It also represents an opportunity for families to learn more about the selflessness of their loved ones, which is something I personally understand as the son of veteran of WWII who served in the Air Force for 23 years yet didn\u2019t share much about his experiences in the military. This initiative preserves these patriotic Americans\u2019 legacies so they live on for future generations. I\u2019m honored to be part of this rewarding endeavor, \u201d Boozman said.\n\nThe senator submitted seven interviews conducted by his staff with veterans of the Cold War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm and War on Terror.\n\nIn 2000, Congress established the VHP to collect and retain the oral histories of our nation\u2019s veterans.\n\nBoozman\u2019s staff has conducted dozens of interviews and trained more than 1,200 Arkansans to participate and raise awareness about this initiative.
