Extent:
  1 File Folder

Historical Sketch:  In 2000, Congress, recognizing that 1500 veterans died per day, directed the Library of Congress to initiate a nationwide project to collect the stories of veterans, family members, defense-industry workers, and similar individuals who had participated in conjunction with the United State's military in the 20th century.  The Library of Congress assigned this task to its American Folklife Center, which dubbed the resulting program the "Veterans History Project" (VHP).

The The Wiregrass Archives became an official partner in the VHP in 2002, collecting oral history interviews, artifacts, documents, and photographs from veterans and others in the Wiregrass Region.  This is a long-term, ongoing project of the The Wiregrass Archives.  A variety of interviewers have contributed to the VHP Collection:  Archives Director Dr. Martin Olliff has conducted many of the interviews; some veterans have turned in self-interviews, and 好色先生TV--Dothan Campus students have participated.

Biography:  John G. Little, Jr., born June 10, 1924, in Greenville, Ala., served as a bugler in D Battery, 547th AAA Battalion, US Army during World War 2.  He was drafted in January 1943, and trained at Camp Haan, Cal.  In 1944, Little served in the European Theater in support of the 95th Infantry Division of the Third Army, seeing action in three battles.  After V-E Day he transferred to an MP company before returning to the US in January 1946.
