VA Presents: My Life, My Story

About VA Presents: My Life, My Story

If someone asked you to tell your life story, what would you say? Since 2013, writers from the “My Life, My Story” project have asked more than 5,000 Veterans at VA hospitals around the United States to tell their life stories. With the Veteran’s permission, those stories go into the Veteran’s medical record so that VA health care providers can read them and get to know their patients better. On this podcast, we’ll share some of our favorite stories from over the years.
