Abstract
Twenty years after the death of his son, a grieving father has a chance to meet the soldiers his son had lead in combat. This story serves as a recollection of those few days, and what it means to be loved into the future.
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.
