Veterans are invited to contribute their stories to the Illinois Veterans’ History Project. This project was launched by Secretary of State Jesse White to create a permanent record of the names and stories of Illinois war veterans and civilians who served our state and country during war, so that their contributions will not be forgotten. Veterans who live in or have lived in Illinois are eligible to participate. Forms are available at public libraries and driver services facilities throughout the state, or can be downloaded here.
Check out veterans’ interviews on YouTube.
