Support The Lost Art Project:
Veterans’ Voices
Every veteran carries stories that history books never capture.
Moments of leadership. Sacrifice. Humor. Brotherhood. Loss. Lessons learned the hard way.
The Lost Art Project: Veterans’ Voices exists to ensure those stories are recorded, preserved, and never lost to time.
Your donation directly funds the work of capturing and archiving first-person oral histories from U.S. military veterans — preserving living history for families, researchers, educators, and future generations.
Donation Examples and Their Impact
Why Your Support Matters
When a veteran passes away, their stories often disappear with them.
Not because they lacked value — but because no one took the time to record them.
We are building a permanent archive of veteran voices so those experiences remain accessible, educational, and deeply human long after the telling.
This is not entertainment.
This is preservation.
What Your Donation Supports
Your contribution helps fund:
• Recording and production of veteran interviews
• Audio / video equipment and archiving tools
• Digital preservation and storage
• Outreach to veterans and families
• Educational and historical access
No wasted overhead. No unnecessary bureaucracy. Just the work.
Trust & Transparency
The Lost Art Project: Veterans’ Voices is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Donations may be tax-deductible as allowed by law.
We exist for one purpose — preserving veteran stories.
Final Thought
Years from now, someone may learn from a veteran’s story that only exists because someone like you chose to help preserve it.
That’s the real impact.
What People Are Saying
“I really enjoyed being on this podcast! As a veteran, the opportunity to share and archive my experiences isn’t something I often get. These are more than just interviews-they’re resources. They give the next generation free access to wisdom that can help them learn, grow, and lead.”
— Mario P. Fields“I love that AJ gives all veterans the opportunity to just talk and share their story how they want to tell it. He doesn’t try to talk over them or be judgmental about anything. I enjoy hearing their experiences, as they are all so different.”
