In honor of the brave individuals who have served our country, StoryCorps, Google, and YouTube are working together to highlight the stories of past and present service members from all branches of the military. As we commemorate Veterans Day, we encourage you to listen to their words, honor their sacrifices, and even sit down with a veteran in your life to record their story using the StoryCorps app.
Check out the Google Doodle.
