My Life, My Story

What would you say if someone asked about your life story?

Since 2013, writers from VA’s My Life, My Story project have invited more than 9,000 Veterans at VA hospitals across the country to share their life stories. With permission, these stories are added to the Veteran’s medical record. This helps VA health care providers understand and connect with their patients. Veterans also receive copies of their story to share with family or friends. 

Listen to stories from Veterans on our podcast series or download the book.

Want to tell your story?

Many VA medical centers have a My Life, My Story coordinator who can help you share your story. You must be enrolled in VA health care to participate.
