Our\u00a0Military Voices Initiative<\/a> provides a platform for veterans, service members, and military families to share their stories. In doing so we honor their voices, amplify their experiences, and let them know that we\u2014as a nation\u2014are listening.<\/p>\n

Are you a veteran? Would you like to honor a veteran in your life with a StoryCorps interview? Here’s how:<\/h2>\n

MAKE PLANS TO RECORD IN A CITY ON OUR 2018 TOUR<\/strong>

LISTEN TO STORIES FROM THE MILITARY VOICES INITIATIVE<\/strong>
