Subsequent cadet-conducted interviews were overseen by the Center's second Director, Bradley L.

One interview (Frank Buckles) covers World War I service. The majority of the interviews were conducted by VMI cadets taking courses in military history.

Adams '71 Center for Military History and Strategic Analysis. The Center's first Director, Kip Muir (served 2002-2011) initiated the oral history program, in which VMI cadets interviewed veterans as part of their military history coursework. Subsequent cadet-conducted interviews were overseen by the Center's second Director, Bradley L. Coleman.","In addition, a 2015 collaborate effort between Coleman and journalist Lisa Tracy resulted in a number of interviews conducted by Tracy with VMI World War II alumni.","This oral history collection spans the World War II era through recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. One interview (Frank Buckles) covers World War I service. The majority of the interviews were conducted by VMI cadets taking courses in military history. The interview files and recordings are housed in the VMI Archives.","Manuscript collections in the VMI Archives are made available for educational and research use.
