                <text>In 2003, the Lawrence Public Library partnered with the Dole Institute of Politics and Haskell University to capture the histories of Douglas County’s World War II veterans in the Lawrence Remembers the World War II Years Project. From 2005 to 2007, the Lawrence Public Library, the Watkins Museum of History, and the Kansas State Historical Society also embarked on a similar endeavor, the Kansas Veterans of World War II Oral History Project, which was funded by the Kansas State Legislature. This collection contains many of the video recordings and more information about the interviews conducted for these projects.</text>

              <text>Margaret “Marty” (Driskel) Graham  served in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC). Interviewed by Pattie Johnston on September 25, 2006, Graham talked about her experiences during the Second World War. Graham was born in San Francisco on August 15, 1924. As a teenager, she worked in the defense industry as a spot welder. She joined the WAC in 1945. After training, she worked at a hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, where she met her future husband William “Bill” Graham, who was serving in the Army during the time. He is also featured in the interview. They married on October 31, 1945. Graham was discharged in 1945. During the interview, Bill and Marty shared several photos and memorabilia from their lives and military services.</text>
