Politicians were interviewed about their experiences in the military for the Veterans' Oral History Project collection at the Library of Congress. Portions of their interviews were shown. First, an interview with Tom Wiener about the project was shown. He discussed the scope of the project and how people could participate in the project. Some views of the archive were shown and some drawings from the collection of Samuel Boylston, a college student from South Carolina who served in the Pacific. Between the interviews Mr. Wiener displayed other parts of the collection: letters from Irving Oblas about daily life in the stateside Army; photographs taken by Robert Lee Olen who served with the Army Mountain Rangers in Italy during World War II; and the illustrated memoir of Frederick Stilson, who was an officer in France during World War I.
