ARTxFM + LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT


ARTxFM is collaborating with the Library of Congress Veterans History Project to record and preserve the voices of America's war veterans.  ART FM is presently conducting audio interviews which we will donate to the Library of Congress where they will become part of the Veterans History Project's permanent collection.  In this way, the personal accounts of our veterans will be accessible and well preserved so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and have a better understanding of what they did, saw, and felt.

If you are a war Veteran or know one with a story to share, we'd like to hear from you!  Please reach out to vets@artxfm.com

ARTxFM and the VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT

Inspiration for ARTxFM's involvement with the Veteran's History Project came from GEORGE WALLACE FOX and his remarkable stories from his time in the Navy during the Pacific Theater of World War II.  You can hear his interview below.


GEORGE FOX:
Hot Shot from Duluth





George Wallace Fox of Duluth, Minnesota appears in the WXOX 97.1 FM studio to discuss his international Naval adventures including work on the Ore Boats in Duluth, Minnesota and aboard the USS Vulcan in the Pacific Theater of the Second World War.

On June 3, 2022 ART FM spoke with Lisa Taylor, Senior Liaison Specialist at the Libary of Congress Veterans History Project and AnnMarie Halterman, Founder of the nonprofit organization Uniting Us to share information about the Conflict to Creativity veteran artist showcase happening at the Libarary of Congress this summer June 28 - 30th in recognition of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) Awareness Month. This event -- which will take place in person and online -- will focus on art as a tool of healing and will feature exhibitions, discussions, and demonstrations by Veteran Artists.
