Veterans and Their Stories
If you have stories or photos you would like to share, please contact us.
Veterans Oral History Project
In conjunction with the Library of Congress Veterans Oral History Project, Foundation volunteers conducted interviews with many 95th veterans during reunions over the years. These interviews were transcribed and the recordings and transcriptions were donated to the Library of Congress in 2004. Unless otherwise indicated, the link will take you to the transcription, not the actual recording.
Additional interviews and stories will be published on this site in the coming months.

Left Formation
When the men of the 95th returned from England they carried service to country and to others forward in their post-war lives. The obituaries of those who have left formation reflect the many contributions they made to their communities and their families. May they serve as an inspiration to us all.
