Library of Congress Veteran’s History Project Featuring Kim Mitchell

Posted: 11/21/2020

The Library of Congress Veteran’s History Project aired two performances this month featuring videos and songs co-written by our own Kim Mitchell. The first debuted on Veteran’s Day, featuring the song “Old Glory,” which honor’s Kim’s dedication to Vietnam era veterans through her experience assisting with the Old Glory Yellow Ribbon Honor Flight, now in its 12th year.

The second debuted on 13 November, featuring the song “Precious Pearl,” which tells the moving story of Kim’s amazing rescue and how she ended up in the United States from Vietnam.

Both performances premiered live on both the Veterans History Project Facebook page and the Library’s YouTube site, presented as part of the Veterans History Project’s Anniversary series celebrating 20 years of collecting, preserving and making accessible the firsthand memories of U.S. military veterans. The presentations can still be viewed at those sites as well as on the Library of Congress website. Truly an honor to realize what a difference Kim has made in the lives of so many veterans, and to see her work and life story memorialized in the Library of Congress holdings is an inspiration to us all.
