Veterans’ Legacy Project

Honoring the service and stories of West Virginia’s greatest heroes.

A Tribute in Stories and Photographs

The Heroes Among Us photography book contains succinct stories and quotes from West Virginia veterans. This stunning coffee table book is a montage of modern and historic pictures in sepia tones that combines the skills of Glenville State College alumnus and project photographer Mark Romano with the powerful words and stories of West Virginia veterans, Rosies, and Gold Star Mothers.

Co-edited by Bob Henry Baber, the book stands as a permanent tribute to those who gave so much for their country and their communities.

A Tradition of Service

The companion documentary A Tradition of Service was produced to inspire others to acknowledge the importance of recording the history of those around us — before those stories are lost forever.

Directed as part of the Veterans Legacy Project, the film captures the voices, faces, and memories of West Virginia’s veterans in their own words, preserving their legacy for generations to come.
