Every veteran has a story worth being told.
To that end, the Fargo Air Museum in North Daktoa is hosting its first “Veterans Story Preservation Day” Feb. 6, 2023.
Museum officials are inviting all veterans from all branches of the military to tell their stories.
“Help the Fargo Air Museum preserve history for generations to come by participating in a 30 minute audio or visual recorded video,” officials said.
The interviews will be conducted in a private setting by Fargo Air Museum Collections Manager Max Sabin.
“The Fargo Air Museum sees countless veterans and their families come through the museum on a yearly basis,” he said. “The Veteran’s Story Preservation Day aims to sit down with those remarkable veterans for a brief conversation and have their stories saved for many years to come. The interviews will be compiled and saved in the Fargo Air Museum’s archives and can be used for research and remembrance of the conflicts and experiences that our veterans lived through.”
If you or someone you know is interested in sharing your story and preserving it for generations to come, reserve your time today by calling 701-293-8043.

The stories of the air combat veterans are amazing (if they will talk about them). I have had the pleasure of briefly speaking with a few of them over the years (40+ years ago…) and I was amazed by them and what they said they had done. I recall one older gentleman who was from Great Britain out in California visiting his daughter and grandchildren. I met him through his son-in-law at an R/C airfield. He was a Lancaster bomber pilot in WW2 and at the age of 20, went to war. He eventually logged over 4,500 hours of flying time and once the war ended, never flew again. These warrior’s stories need to be recorded and heard. The sacrifice and Valor from them is inspiring.
