VetTrails Kit

The free VetTrails kit gives families a clear, respectful way to begin preserving a veteran’s story. It includes the intake form, a guided question list, a phone recording guide, and the Library of Congress Veterans History Project forms with mailing instructions.

This kit is designed to make the first step feel simple and manageable. You can use it at your own pace, gather details from home, and decide who should be part of the conversation. It is a practical starting point for families who want to honor service without feeling overwhelmed by the process.

Whether you are planning ahead or beginning after a loved one has passed, the kit helps organize memories, service details, and important next steps. It is built to support dignity, privacy, and ease from the very beginning.
