Veterans - The Monroe
County Historical Society Museum is starting a project to record the
military experiences of Monroe County veterans in cooperation with

project to collect oral histories of war veterans. Program
coordinators have a special interest in those who served in World
Wars I & II, Korea and Vietnam, as well as Somalia, Desert Storm and
Bosnia. Interviews are not limited to combat veterans, but include
