Veterans History Project (Library of Congress)

This is a great project for the pure historic value of collecting our military history not from an official account or history books, but from the eyes of those there. As a history geek and study I've read through some during the early stages and have found this to be a priceless asset in the correlation between the recorded history we know and the in depth look from the inside. It brings our military history to a level never before seen or imagined. On a personal level, I have an entire bookcase of nothing but books filled with diaries and letters from soldiers throughout history. It's not only my favorite type of historical study, but as mentioned above, in my opinion some of the most valuable. Anyone who hasn't should check it out.

MAJ (Join to see) this is great, I love history and I will have the site on my favorites.
