Legacy Videos & Keepsake Books for Service Members

Preserve Military Family Stories

Preserve Their Courage. Share Their voice

The bravery of our service members—and the quiet strength of their families—deserves to be honored, remembered, and passed down.

A Sharelooms Soldier Story is a tribute project that honors the service, sacrifice, and legacy of those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. Whether you’re capturing a message before deployment, documenting a homecoming, or celebrating a military retirement, each Soldier Story becomes a powerful part of your family’s history.

These stories can be preserved as professionally filmed video interviews, beautifully printed keepsake books—or both.

What We Do

Legacy Moments We Help You Preserve

Deployment, Homecoming & Retirement Storytelling Projects for Military Families

Pre-Deployment

Capture a message for loved ones and a reflection of the service member’s life so far. These are especially meaningful for children who want to hear Mom or Dad’s voice while they’re away. Service members often share memories from their childhood through the present day–creating the first chapters in their Legacy Video or Life Story Book.

Homecoming

Celebrate the return home with a post-deployment reflection. These interviews highlight what was experienced, what’s changed, and what it means to be home. They often include footage or letters from overseas and preserve the joy and emotion of reunion.

Retirement

Mark the transition from military service to civilian life by capturing reflections, stories and lessons learned. Retirement stories are often gifted to children, siblings, or fellow service members as a tribute to years of service and sacrifice. They often reflect on what service meant to them, the values the carry forward, and hopes for the next chapter.

Veteran Oral Histories

Preserving Stories from World War I to Afghanistan

In addition to honoring those currently serving, we help families preserve the military stories of past generations. These interviews and archival projects capture the voices and memories of veterans who served in earlier conflicts—creating a permanent record of their service, sacrifice, and perspective.

We work with families to collect photos, letters, medals, and personal reflections that bring these stories to life. Whether your loved one shared stories during their lifetime or left behind a legacy in documents and memories, we can help you craft a video or printed tribute.

A Soldier Story Is a Legacy

Honoring Service Members Across All Branches of the U.S. Military

We proudly support service members and families from every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces—including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. It is our honor to help preserve their stories of courage, duty, and love of country.

Whether you’re preserving the voice of someone heading into deployment or capturing the wisdom of a retiring veteran, a Soldier Story is a gift to your family—and to history. These keepsakes are often shared across generations, included in family archives, and revisited at reunions and milestone celebrations.

We are deeply honored to serve military families with this meaningful work.
