The Southern Minnesota Historical Center conducted an oral history project to document experiences of Americans during World War I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf Wars. Veterans of all branches of the military, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine, were invited to participate. The SCMVHP was open to those who have some association, whether past or present to any of the following counties: Blue Earth, Brown, Faribault, Freeborn, LeSueur, Martin, Nicollet, Rice, Sibley, Steele, Waseca, and Watonwan.
