Military Experience and the Arts, Inc. is proud to announce the publication of As You Were: The Military Review, Vol. 21, an edition containing more than forty works of military-themed poetry, artwork, creative nonfiction, and literary fiction. 

The work of the creators featured herein delves deeply into the human experiences associated with the presence of militaries. Each of the works is emblematic of our organization’s mission of peering behind the curtain of common societal perceptions of servicemembers, their families, and their affected peers to discover rich, multilayered nuances. These are works that corageously bare all to better inform society of truths often unheard.

They’re also resultant of intense effort. The pieces submitted to us are the products of immense amounts of study, experimentation, and, quite often, vulnerability. Our editorial staff collaborates with writers to polish and perfect their creations with these things in mind. 

The final piece of the puzzle is you, the reader. It’s with appreciation that we find you here ready to peruse the latest edition. We hope you enjoy the selections in As You Were: The Military Review, Vol. 21. Thank you!
