VETERAN'S HISTORY PROJECT
We are recording audio interviews with Merchant Mariners, who are veterans of
World War II and other conflicts.  These are submitted to the U.S. Library of              
Congress, as outlined by the rules of the project.  In addition, we are broadcasting   
these interviews at this web site location.  If you have your speakers on and your     
sound turned up, yu should be hearing one of them now.  The Mariners histories      
are not unlike the historys of veterans of other branches of the American military     
but their stories are unique to the American Merchant Marine.  The histories of         
American Mariners have been overlooked in many history books.  We welcome the   
opportunity to have these men tell their story in their own words.
