QUANTICO, Va. – Nov. 11, 2025 – From the battlefield to the barracks, every U.S. Veteran carries a story worth preserving. These narratives represent more than just individual experiences—they are living testimonies of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our nation. This Veterans Day, Words of Veterans invites service members to honor their journey by creating a personalized book of military memories, transforming fleeting recollections into lasting legacies that will resonate for generations to come.
The passage of time can fade even the most vivid memories, but the impact of military service remains indelible. Whether it’s the nervous anticipation of that first day at boot camp, the profound bonds forged during deployment, or the quiet moments of reflection after returning home, these experiences shape not only the lives of veterans but also the fabric of our nation’s history. This Veterans Day, Words of Veterans invites our troops to preserve their own stories—turning personal reflections into legacy keepsakes that endure.
A Platform Built for Heroes
Celebrate the power of remembrance offering Veterans an interactive way to turn their experiences into a personalized book at Words of Veterans. This innovative platform recognizes that every service member’s journey is unique and deserving of documentation. Each page becomes more than a record—it’s a reflection of service, sacrifice, and strength. The digital storytelling experience guides veterans through their military timeline, prompting thoughtful reflection while making the process accessible and meaningful.
From boot camp memories to deployment milestones, this initiative helps preserve the stories that continue to inspire veterans and salute generations of Marines at their 250 Legacy Year ahead of our national Anniversary. The timing couldn’t be more significant, as the Marine Corps approaches this historic milestone, reminding us all of the continuous thread of service that connects past, present, and future generations of warriors.
Discover Your Voice
Discover and explore the Words of Veterans—a free, online storytelling platform created for veterans to preserve their military memories and share their stories with future generations. The platform removes technological barriers and financial obstacles, ensuring that no veteran’s story goes untold due to lack of resources or technical expertise. With an intuitive interface designed specifically with veterans in mind, the process of documenting one’s service becomes as meaningful as the stories themselves.
The platform incorporates thoughtful prompts that help veterans recall and articulate their experiences. Sample questions were adapted from the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, ensuring that the storytelling process follows established best practices in oral history preservation. These carefully crafted questions touch on various aspects of military life, encouraging comprehensive and reflective narratives.
Veterans are invited to explore meaningful questions such as: What are some lessons learned from military life? This prompt allows service members to distill years of experience into wisdom that can guide younger generations. Did you join a veterans organization? This question highlights the importance of continued camaraderie and community after active service. How has military service impacted views of war? This deeper reflection invites veterans to share how their firsthand experiences have shaped their understanding of conflict, peace, and the true cost of freedom.
Recognition and Support
Words of Veterans is proud to announce a Grant Award from the Virginia Department of Veteran Services celebrating our efforts celebrating your military memories. This recognition validates the importance of veteran storytelling and acknowledges the platform’s role in preserving military heritage for future generations.
As part of this grant, 1,000 free vouchers are available to veterans residing in the State of Virginia, which is home to the nation’s second-largest veteran population. The initiative ensures that more veterans can access Words of Veterans to preserve their stories without cost barriers. This commitment to accessibility reflects the understanding that every veteran’s story matters, regardless of their financial circumstances.
