Veterans Day Records at the National Archives
A Navy nurse attends the sick and wounded on stretchers on the deck of the hospital ship USS Sanctuary moored in Da Nang Harbor, South China Sea. The men are prepared for a medical evacuation by helicopter.
Each year, we acknowledge the work done and sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. The National Archives and Records Administration is proud to serve veterans and their families, especially through our work at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. We are also proud to include many veterans among our staff. Find out how we help veterans access their records to receive benefits, read about the work our Preservation staff do to make these records accessible, watch historic films that our staff have restored and digitized about the experiences of veterans, and plan a visit to an exhibit or event near you.
If you've been discharged from military service, your personnel files are stored here at the National Archives and Records Administration.
The National Archives has a wealth of records and information documenting the U.S. experience in the Vietnam conflict.
