In honor of Veterans Day, we share the stories and memories of veterans and their families. Some of these stories are from the “Military Voices of Maine” project—a series of recording sessions to capture the voices of those who served—as part of a partnership between Maine Public and StoryCorps. You can listen to those stories in a new podcast series, and visit the traveling exhibit across the state this month.
