Oral History Project

A WORLD WAR II VIRTUAL MONUMENT

Read about our concept of a World War II Virtual Monument. In August the Drop Zone met with the American Battle Monuments Commission to discuss our idea of a World War II Virtual Monument. As an on-line "Living Monument" it will capture and preserve the testimonies, oral histories, and photos of America?s World War II veterans before they are lost to the ages.

Volunteers
The Drop Zone Virtual Museum is run by volunteers. Patrick O'Donnell historian and founder of the Drop Zone, has interviewed over 1,200 WWII Airborne, Ranger, Marine, OSS veterans. He has written two best selling books published by Simon & Schuster/Free Press: BEYOND VALOR and INTO THE RISING SUN. BEYOND VALOR is also the winner of the Colby Award for outstanding Military History. The books are selections of the Book of the Month Club, History Club and Military History Club. Mr. O'Donnell was also a historical consultant for Dream Works with the mini-series "Band of Brothers." Several other volunteers also support the site.
