Oral History at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor

Every Purple Heart has a story connected with it. The Oral History Program at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is guided by the belief that each one of these stories is valuable and historically significant. They are valuable because they depict events and memories that are often very important to the recipient, and or, his or her family. They are historically significant because they provide a unique perspective on an event or a period of time that was an important part of the history of our nation. If you are a Purple Heart Recipient, or if you have been deeply affected by the loss of a service member who was killed in action, then we would like you to consider sharing your story with us.

We conduct interviews in a video recording studio here at the Hall of Honor. Interviewees will receive one DVD copy of their recorded interview. Footage from the interview may be edited and excerpted for future use by the Hall of Honor. We may include excerpts from your interview in video programs created for the galleries or for special audiences such as schools, veteran’s organizations, etc.

Interviews are conducted by advance appointment. If you are interested in scheduling an interview, or if you have any questions please contact Tom Lange at the Hall of Honor toll free at 1-877-28HONOR.
