Tales from the Navy Log Stories of Service: Story of the Month

"Our mission is to honor and preserve the stories of our Nation’s past, so that we may never forget the sacrifices made by our Veterans, and to pass their stories on to future generations of Americans."

-M. Fash, National Coordinator United States Navy Memorial Stories of Service Program


In early 2013, a new initiative was launched by the Stories of Service Program at the United States Navy Memorial. The Stories of Service Program is proud to recognize our Nation’s Veterans and preserve their stories for future generations. Each month, the program will select a Veteran’s interview, which has been conducted, edited, and archived by the United States Navy Memorial, to be featured as the “Story of the Month.”

Each Story of the Month is introduced by a written description that will highlight the Veteran’s stories and will include a direct link to their recorded interview. The full interview also includes photos and video clips that were provided by the Veteran or are relevant to their service. Through this initiative, the program hopes to bring the Veterans’ stories to life for all generations and honor them for their service. Remember to check back each month to see the featured Story of the month and the latest interviews posted on the United States Navy Memorial Site.
