To celebrate Memorial Day, the Library of Congress presents Courage, Patriotism, Community, a gathering of three mini websites featuring compelling veterans' stories, inspiring patriotic music, and unique community traditions.
The site has three parts: Experiencing War, Patriotic Melodies and Community Roots. Experiencing War "features selected stories taken from the thousands contributed to the Library's Veterans History Project. Showcased are video, audio and written personal accounts from 21 veterans and civilians, along with pictures, diaries, and scrapbooks." Patriotic Melodies "features some of the nation's most beloved patriotic music." And, Community Roots "celebrates the richness of America through local festivals, community events, and other grassroots activities."
