VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT
The Sterling Heights Historical Commission is participating
in the Veterans History Project. The project collects first person
accounts of military service in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Persian
Gulf. The veterans are interviewed on tape and the tapes are archived
in the national Library of Congress and cataloged so that they are
available for viewing by the public. Those interviews are now
available online.
The following Sterling Heights veterans have participated in
the project. To view their interview online, click on their name to
link directly to the Library of Congress. To return, use the return
button from your Internet browser.
If you are interested in participating, see the

Historical Commission is participating in the Veterans History Project.
Local veterans from World War I, World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and
Persian Gulf wars are invited to contact the library at (586) 446-2640 for
more information or to register. You must be a current or former resident of
Sterling Heights to take part in this local project. To search the records

There will be a 30-60

bring letters and photographs that help tell the story. The library will
make copies of any photographs or letters and return the original. Don’t
wait, call today and schedule an appointment. |
