The Veterans’ Writing Group of San Diego County has published three anthology books with stories drawn from life and military experiences. Each copy sold of these deeply personal and intimately relatable works allows the Veterans’ Writing Group to donate two copies to veterans’ organizations, military hospitals, local libraries, and USOs to help fellow veterans and their family members heal and grow from their experiences. The stories are sometimes hilarious, at other times heart-wrenching, but always ring true and are like no other. For more information: veteranswritinggroup.org
