This year marks the 70th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II in 1945. Of the 16 million service members who fought in that war, it is estimated that only 855,000 are still alive today. What’s more, those survivors are dying off at a rate of almost 500 each day. The rush is on to capture as many of their stories as possible, while some of them are still with us.
In Our Service, Our Stories, 36 veterans from Indiana recall their experiences of military service during World War II — what they saw, heard, said, felt and did. And how they got on with their lives after the war. This is their service. These are their stories.
