How We Bring Your Veteran's Story to Life

Step 1: Begin Uncovering Their Story
This is where we begin. You don’t need to have all the details. Just tell us you're ready to learn more, and we’ll help you begin uncovering what your veteran did — and how their story can be preserved.

Step 2: We Analyze What's Possible
We analyze the available records and determine whether your veteran’s story best supports a full-length book, one or more written chapters or a visual timeline.
You’ll receive a personalized email with our professional recommendation — then you choose which legacy project you'd like us to create.

Step 3: We Conduct Research & Writing
Once you select your legacy project, we begin our deep-dive research — uncovering details from archives, field reports and personnel records, to name a few.

Step 4: Your Veteran's Story, Delivered
You receive a finished legacy project: a custom book, visual timeline and/or individual book chapter(s). Built for generations to read, remember and honor.
What We Create and Deliver to You

Full-length Book
A deeply researched, custom-written book that brings your veteran’s service to life — a timeless keepsake your family will treasure for generations.
When you order the book, we'll include a visual timeline at no extra cost.

Visual Timeline
A beautifully designed, framed timeline that highlights key moments from your veteran’s service — each marked by a date, a photo (if available) and a 1-2 sentence summary.
And because sometimes a sentence isn’t enough, you can add written chapters that bring those moments to life as full narratives — just like you'd find in the full-length book. It’s a powerful way to deepen your veteran’s legacy without committing to the full book.

What families are saying about Your Veteran's History
-
"Your Veteran’s History not only told my uncle’s entire story as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam, but also pinpointed exactly where he was killed in Vietnam and what it looks like today. Our family has finally received the closure we have been seeking for nearly 60 years."
- Jonika Nix, who asked us to uncover her uncle's full story - so her dad could finally learn what his brother did in the war.
-
"While reading the chapters of the book about my father's service to our country in World War II, it almost felt like he was still alive and reading the book to me. Your Veteran's History left me speechless. Remarkably written and researched. Thank You!"
- Joe Alcantar, Jr., who never knew the full story of his father’s service in the U.S. Army during World War II — until his daughter asked Your Veteran’s History to uncover it.
-
“My dad died in 2000 and never talked about his experiences in Vietnam. We just assumed we would never learn about what he did. I am so grateful to Your Veteran’s History for uncovering my dad’s story. He was a bad ass! We had no idea!”
- Steve Simmons, whose father served as an infantry platoon leader in the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam
