The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans (老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history expert and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a program at the Library of Congress devoted to collecting and saving the oral histories of America's 19 million veterans. Local newspapers listed Beer's phone number, and the response was impressive. He has videotaped 52 veterans.
“Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” says Beers, “They ask, ‘Why now?’ But it has to be now, before it's too late.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1.847 veterans die each day.
Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): "He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farms."
The World War II generation consists of most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But, says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from veterans of every war. "I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in Vietnam." she says, "He said he shared things with me that he's never told anyone."
