Local rep in on LOC's Veterans History Project

Straight outta TX-22 and in front of the microphone: Rep. Nick Lampson is teaming up with the Veterans Service Office and communications students at UH to help document the stories of American veterans for the Library of Congress. From the department of Did You Know?:

“Houston is proud to have the largest concentration of veterans in the United States. We are obligated to do all we can to honor their service,” Lampson said. “The Veterans History Project provides a terrific opportunity for veterans’ stories to be recorded for the benefit of all Americans.”

Media production students from UH will interview and film the interviews this afternoon. The Veterans History Project collects interviews, memoirs, letters, diaries, photographs and other original materials from Americans who have served in wars from WWII to Iraq. The materials will be cataloged in the Library of Congress for future reference.
