The goal of the Veteran Voices of the Heartland project is to uncover the stories about veterans from the Civil War era who are interred in the Fort Scott National Cemetery in Fort Scott, Kansas and World War II era veterans who are interred in the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, Missouri.
Our efforts would not be possible without those who give their time, effort, and other resources to aid us in our research. We would like to recognize the partners who make this project possible:
The Veterans Legacy Grant Program (VLGP) overseen by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), funds college and K-12 student research about the veterans who are interred in VA or VA funded state cemeteries. The program also supports training for K-12 teachers on how to teach their students to conduct research about the lives of veterans in their surrounding communities.
In addition to funding veteran research, the VLGP also supports adding the biographies that students produce to the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM) platform. The VLM includes interactive tools to view and add information to a veteran's profile. You can also receive notifications when more information about that veteran is added to the site.
