VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT

The National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) and the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) have partnered with the United States Library of Congress Veterans History Project in an effort to protect and preserve the rich and extensive history of American wartime veterans. Through a project sponsored by the Library of Congress, men and women who have served the United States in a time of war can have their stories recorded.

The Library of Congress is seeking to capture the experiences that formed our nation from those individuals that lived them. Upwards of 1,000 veterans are passing away every day – each one a unique story – lost forever. If you have a relative, friend, or neighbor who is a veteran, help preserve their story by joining the group of volunteers who are participating in an ongoing program called the "1,000 Voices Initiative."

The court reporters at Alabama Court Reporting® are honored to be part of such a project and welcome the opportunity to record a veteran’s story for them and their families at no charge. We will submit their story, along with the necessary paperwork, to The Library of Congress for future generations to read.

If you are a veteran and would like to have your story recorded, or are a family member of a veteran that would like to have their loved one’s story recorded, please contact our office to schedule a time to have this wonderful piece of history preserved. We welcome the participation of our clients in this project. If you are a current client and would like to be added to our list of interviewers, please contact our office.
