Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. To commemorate a conflict that changed the course of world history, we want to hear from World War II veterans, especially those who served in nontraditional roles, for a Times project that will involve both text and photography. Millions of Americans aided the war effort in unconventional or unsung ways. Too often, these stories are left untold.

If a relative or friend of yours served, help us get in touch with them. Or, if you served during World War II, tell us about your experience directly: In what capacity did you serve, and what did your job entail? Fill out the form below to share your story.
