The Stones River National Battlefield has launched a new initiative known as “Stories of Service and Sacrifice” as part of America 250. This program aims to highlight the lives of 250 veterans interred in the Stones River National Cemetery. This initiative is an integral part of the America 250 commemoration, a nationwide celebration of 250 years of American history and culture.
The “Stories of Service and Sacrifice” initiative will focus on the personal narratives of the veterans, revealing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of those who served in the U.S. military. The project seeks to honor their contributions and sacrifices, providing a deeper understanding of the nation’s history through the lens of those who fought to preserve it.
For more information about the “Stories of Service and Sacrifice” initiative, visit the Stones River National Battlefield’s website. This initiative is one of many ways the National Park Service is participating in the America 250 commemoration, a multi-year effort to inspire Americans to reflect on the country’s past and envision its future.
