The Office of Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon is pleased to announce its participation in the Veterans History Project (VHP) run by the Library of Congress. The VHP's purpose is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the personal accounts of U.S. military veterans and Gold Star Families so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand their service.
