Preserving Stories began with a simple belief — that every veteran’s voice matters, and their experiences deserve to be remembered. What started as a personal project gradually grew into a mission: to document the stories of veterans not through textbooks or timelines, but through their own words.
Through each interview, I realized how powerful these memories are — filled with courage, sacrifice, and deeply human moments that history books often overlook. These stories aren’t just about the past; they offer perspective, empathy, and connection for the present and future.
Preserving Stories is more than just a website. It’s a space to listen, to learn, and to honor those who served — one story at a time.
