"The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war."

Missouri Southern State University began actively collecting the personal accounts of veterans for the Veterans History Project in 2005 with a call for veterans to participate. This effort would be continued by former faculty member Dr. Robert Markman until 2019.
