Abstract
During the height of the Cold War, on a lonely night shift in a missile silo in rural Missouri, a young Air Force missileer finds himself suddenly on high alert, as the U.S. prepares to respond to an unknown nuclear threat. This was not a drill.
Articles, stories, and other compositions in this archive were written by participants in the Mighty Pen Project. The program, developed by author David L. Robbins, and in partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University and the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond, Virginia, offers veterans and their family members a customized twelve-week writing class, free of charge. The program encourages, supports, and assists participants in sharing their stories and experiences of military experience so both writer and audience may benefit.
