StoryCorps’ 2025 Military Voices Initiative tour will stop in Indianapolis at WFYI this May. In-person recording dates are May 1-5 at WFYI’s studios.

Millions of Americans have worked and served in the armed forces, and the military community knows well the pride and honor of service, in addition to its unique challenges. Yet few civilians have had an opportunity to hear from service members directly about their experience. The Military Voices Initiative illuminates these experiences and contributes to StoryCorps’ free archive by recording and preserving the stories of veterans of all wars, service members and military families — in their own words. Since its launch in 2013, the initiative has collected more than 3,500 interviews with current and former service members from all over the country.

This project honors veterans and members of the military community by recording and preserving their stories. Active service members, veterans and their loved ones are all encouraged to record conversations with a trained StoryCorps facilitator as part of this year’s Military Voices Initiative tour. Learn more about the process, confirm you and your interview partner's availability and sign up for a recording spot today!

The Military Voices Initiative is made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Special thanks to Dignity Memorial for their sponsorship of the Military Voices Initiative broadcast on NPR in 2025.
