The office of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) will host a Library of Congress ¢â‚¬Å“Veterans History Project ¢â‚¬ � event in honor of Veterans Day for the fifth year in a row. The event will take place on Friday, November 4, 2022 from 9 a.m. — 4 p.m. CT at the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. The museum is located in the Grout Museum District and the address is 503 South St. in Waterloo.

¢â‚¬Å“Iowa has a rich history of service members fighting on behalf of our country. This project provides a platform for Iowa ¢â‚¬â„¢s veterans to tell their stories and document their contributions to American history for future generations, ¢â‚¬ � Grassley said.

The Veterans History Project collects and makes accessible firsthand interviews and narratives of U.S. military veterans from World War I through the present. Grassley invites Iowa ¢â‚¬â„¢s veterans to contribute by participating in a 30-minute to an hour-long taped interview about their service in the military. The interviews will then be made available through the Library of Congress. For more information on the Library of Congress ¢â‚¬â„¢s Veterans History Project, visit http://www.loc.gov/vets.

Veterans interested in having their story recorded should contact Senator Grassley ¢â‚¬â„¢s Des Moines office at 515-288-1145. Space is limited and appointments will go in the order that requests are received. To learn more about this project please call Grassley ¢â‚¬â„¢s veterans fellow, Harrison Swift, at 515-288-1145 or email him at veteransfellow_grassley@grassley.senate.gov.
