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.
https://vawarmemorial.org/every-veteran-has-a-story/
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
