Their Service Deserves to Be Remembered in Their Own Words.

The Living Legacy Project partners with VFW posts, American Legion chapters, DAV, and other veterans organizations to capture the service stories and life histories of their members. Professionally guided, preserved in their own voice.

A veteran sharing their story in a guided session

Veterans have stories no one else can tell. Most will never be recorded.

Every veteran in your organization has stories from service and from the life lived before and after. These are stories that shaped families, shaped communities, and in many cases shaped history. Most will never be captured.

Not because veterans don't want to share them, but because no one builds the structure to make it happen. The Living Legacy Project does exactly that.

WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. The window to capture firsthand accounts of those generations is closing rapidly.
Families often don't know what to ask. Veterans frequently open up to a trained, neutral guide in ways they don't with family, especially around combat, loss, and sacrifice.
Your organization already honors service. Story sessions are a natural extension of that mission and something members and their families will value deeply.

A Program That Honors Your Members

Trained Guides Who Listen Well

Our interviewers know how to work with veterans: patient, respectful, and skilled at drawing out stories that go deeper than a brief family conversation might reach.

Private Archive for the Veteran's Family

Every session belongs to the veteran's family in a private archive they control. The veteran decides what is shared and with whom.

Revenue Share for Your Post or Chapter

Your organization earns a revenue share for each member family that enrolls through your referral link. Automatic, no paperwork, paid directly to your organization.

Legacy Products Families Can Order

Families can order a memorial video, printed story book, produced podcast, or keepsake from the archive at any time, in the veteran's own voice.

Differentiates Your Post

Offering a story preservation program demonstrates that your organization takes its mission seriously and gives members a concrete reason to stay engaged.

Zero Burden on Your Team

We handle all logistics, scheduling, and coordination. Your post's only role is introducing the program to members, through a newsletter, a meeting, or word of mouth.

How the Veterans Organization Partnership Works

1

Introduction Call

A 20-minute call with your post commander, service officer, or membership director. We walk through the program, revenue share structure, and how your members would access it.

2

Partnership Agreement

A simple two-page agreement covering referral revenue share, privacy protocols, and how we coordinate sessions. No exclusivity required.

3

Your Post Gets a Unique Referral Link

We build a dedicated landing page for your organization. Include it in your newsletter, post it at your hall, or mention it at your next meeting. Enrollments are tracked automatically.

4

Members Enroll. We Handle Everything.

Interested veterans or their families sign up and we take it from there. Sessions are conducted in person, at the veteran's home, your hall, or a care facility.

5

Stories Preserved. Revenue Earned.

Sessions accumulate in the veteran's family archive. Your post receives a revenue share for each enrolled member, automatically tracked and paid directly to your organization.

Sessions Go Where Your Members Are

At Your Post or Hall

We can conduct sessions at your organization's location, during or around regular meeting times. Just a quiet room is all we need.

At Their Home

For veterans who prefer the comfort of their own space. In-person, on their schedule, with no disruption to their routine.

At a VA or Care Facility

For veterans receiving care at a VA facility, assisted living, or skilled nursing. We coordinate directly with the care team.

Veterans Organization FAQs

No. Sessions are completely guided by the veteran's comfort and preferences. Some veterans want to talk about service extensively. Others prefer to focus on family, career, or life before and after. Our guides follow the veteran's lead entirely.
Our guides are trained to navigate difficult terrain with care. We do not pursue topics that cause distress, and we always give the veteran full control to redirect, pause, or end the session. We can also coordinate with your VSO or social work contacts if needed.
Yes. We can conduct sessions at your organization's location, during regular meeting times or at a separate scheduled time. We just need a quiet room away from background noise.
Yes. Many partner organizations promote story sessions as a valued member benefit, something your post actively offers rather than something members have to find on their own. We can provide promotional materials.
Revenue share details are covered during the introduction call. Your organization earns a percentage of each family's monthly subscription, tracked automatically through your referral link. No invoicing, no paperwork.
We coordinate sessions in any setting: assisted living, VA facilities, skilled nursing, or at home. We have experience navigating facility access and consent processes in these environments.
