Abstract
A look into the life and political climate as a military student amidst the backdrop of the Vietnam War.
A cold wednesday morning in March goes from bad to worse for a Michigan University ROTC student. Wednesdays are the worst.
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.
