Hi Henry,
There are quite a few of these programs. The biggest one I know of is
at the Library of Congress
https://www.loc.gov/vets/
Many state libraries and organizations also do this kind of thing,
including Virginia.

They may not send someone to visit, but I'm sure they could give you
guidance on how to do the interview yourself, and would be happy to have
the recording/transcript.
Best, Tony
