HONORING OUR VETERANS - NCRF'S VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT



In 2013 the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) will celebrate its 10th anniversary in partnership with the Library of Congress on the Veterans History Project.  Reporters from around the country have volunteered to preserve the verbal histories of veterans by transcribing their memories of the conflicts in which they served.  So far over 2,600 veterans’ histories have been preserved and submitted to the Library of Congress where they will remain in perpetuity for the education and benefit of future generations.  The Foundation’s goal is to reach 3,000 submissions by Memorial Day of 2013.

The National Court Reporters Association is honored to play such an important role in the preservation of these invaluable first-hand accounts given by our living heroes to whom we all owe so much. 

We pay homage to all our veterans, past and presently serving, on this Veterans Day and thank them for their service and sacrifice.
