Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa, is looking for local schools to help to interview and preserve the recollections of American war veterans as part of the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center.

Thompson, who is a veteran, is also encouraging local veterans to take part in the project and talk about their service in the military.

The goal of the Veterans History Project, which was created by Congress in 2000, is to collect and preserve the personal accounts of veterans so that their experiences can be accessible so that future generations can hear directly from them and better understand the realities of war, according to the press release.
