The Voices of Villanova’s Veterans is an oral history project, in collaboration with the Office of Veterans and Military Service Members and Falvey Library’s Distinctive Collections and Digital Engagement Department. We hope to capture the stories of veterans with connections to Villanova, archive them, and make them available to family members, friends, and the community. This project will illustrate the strong bond that Villanova has with service to the country and will bear witness to those stories.
