- “A Kind of Freedom”: Telling Stories about War
(winter2014)
“All trauma is burden, so many people are afraid of thinking about it, talking about it, writing about it, going to that place, because it brings up the hurt. But when they’re writing, you can see it’s a kind of freedom. And it provides vets with a different space than they get with the ‘support our troops’ and ‘salute to service’ kind of recognition of their experiences.”
