Virginians At War - Historical Programs

Preserving the memory of Virginia’s fallen heroes and honoring their sacrifice and service has always been the mission of the Memorial. More recently we have also made it our mission to teach history and instill patriotism in the children of Virginia. To accomplish this goal, the Memorial has created a series of educational programs – Virginians At War. This series of programs is founded on the real-life wartime experiences of Virginians and their participation in events that changed history. These heartfelt interviews are edited together with animated maps, archival films, period photography, soundtracks, and graphics to create engaging first-person accounts of American history. The stories they tell carry the authenticity of truth. The salient facts and the emotions of the events come shining through.
