This project tracks the paths of Champaign County Veterans during World War II, as recorded in oral histories taken in honor of the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in 1994.
In addition to a biography, each veteran's path is represented by a Google map of their travels from home to war and back again. The placemark for each location is numbered chronologically. Within that map, each point they visited is paired with a sound clip which can be selected and listened to.
For a compilation of all of the map points for every veteran, please go to the compiled Google Map.
This is just a sample of the fascinating and unique information contained in the oral history of every veteran.
