Release of AS YOU WERE: THE MILITARY REVIEW, Vol. 10

Military Experience and the Arts is proud to announce the release of As You Were: The Military Review, Vol. 10. This edition contains fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and artwork from three dozen writers, poets, and artists. Quite a few of them are being published for their first time. Several have undergone a revision process with our editorial team aimed at refining their work and learning more about their respective crafts.

Our audience can learn something from this edition as well. These works delve deeply into our wars, our service, and our lives at home. They explore the thoughts of Gold Star families, the wives of combat veterans, and the veterans themselves. The range of pieces covers  more than a hundred years of military experience. You will find people with whom you have much in common and others from which you can gain insight into new perspectives.

We invite you to read through Volume 10 and share this edition widely. Thank you!
