So what exactly does that mean?

We are looking for Veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom who have poems, journal entries, artwork, short stories, etc. from their time in service, deployed, or stateside to create a coffee table-style book. We want veterans to have the opportunity to tell their stories from their time in service through the creative mediums of their choice.

The stories/essays/memoirs can range from funny to serious to heartbreaking. One soldier’s voice may help others to find theirs and have the opportunity to heal.

The submission deadline is January 01, 2022

Remember OPSEC!

Please send submissions to alexis.casiday@gmail.com, along with Name, Rank/MOS, when and where you served. A picture in uniform (if possible). Any veteran may submit. Does not have to be combat-related. Please include contact information, title, etc. on your submission.

Proceeds from all book sales will go to the https://www.wedefyfoundation.org/
