FAQs

What wars do you cover?
We uncover stories for veterans who served in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

How long does it typically take to complete a book?
Each book is a deeply researched and personalized project, so the timeline can vary depending on the veteran's service and available sources. We generally ask families to expect at least 4 months, as this ensures we can deliver the highest-quality, most thorough historical account. While we always aim to complete it faster, creating a legacy piece of this caliber requires some time. We also keep the customer updated on the project as it progresses, so you always know what we are working on and the updated ETA. 

What kind of documents do you need to get started?
If you have the veteran’s discharge papers (known as a DD-214 after World War II), it can really streamline our research process. However, they’re not mandatory. We can still proceed without them, but having those papers on hand allows us to dive into the research much faster. Besides the discharge papers, any other documents (personal or government) you can share with us related to your veteran's service will be extremely helpful. 

Can you still do a book if the veteran was killed during the war?
Absolutely. Whether your veteran was killed in action, survived the war or passed away afterward, we are fully capable of conducting thorough research to tell their story. 

Do you cover ALL U.S. military branches?
Yes! We proudly cover all U.S. military branches for veterans who served during World War II and Vietnam. At this time, we only focus on U.S. veterans from these conflicts, but our expertise spans every branch of the military.
