Recruiting veterans in and around Delaware to participate in this program.
Let us share your heroic story with the world!
Program Overview: honoring the men and women who protect our great nation.
This program was developed in 2016 to document veterans stories of time served in the armed forces in one of three ways;
- Videography – filmed documentary.
- Printed Biography – written article/book.
- Social Media – sponsored public Facebook Post.
Inspired by the observed need to maintain and preserve the history of a dwindling population of local veterans from World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Somali Civil War, Kosovo War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War, Libyan War, and the war on Terror; this program aims to recruit veterans who would not otherwise have the opportunity to tell their stories. Families of deceased veterans are also eligible to participate in the program and share the stories of loved ones.
Documenting History: eligibility determination and application form.
All veterans, regardless of diversity, discharge status, or service rank, are eligible to participate in this program.

NABVETS members often meet veterans to present plaques of honor, provide companionship, or simply lend an ear, and the one thing that’s most common in all the stories told is that these veterans want to share their stories. Sacrifices were made in service to the United States of America and in the modern age of Technology, we can!
