Eva KL Miller: Writer and Editor

I love going to readings at Politics and Prose to support folks I know. This week it was Jerri Bell & Tracy Crow, co-editors of It's My Country Too, an important book about the history of women in the armed services, told in their own words through primary sources.

I know Jerri through her great work with the Veterans Writing Project.

See the link below if you know a female veteran, are interested in military stories, or just want to support some great people!

Please listen to this excellent NPR interview with Dario DiBattista (in which he kindly mentions me and my piece, among other contributors to Retire the Colors). Dario has a lot of important things to say about veterans, war, and other topics that are worth considering not only this Memorial Day weekend but always.

(And a reminder that Memorial Day is about remembering lives lost.)

Retire The Colors Monday is Memorial Day, when the nation remembers those who sacrificed their lives for the security of our country. In that spirit, we speak with Dario

Congratulations to my friend Ron, and other friends and former classmates, who are doing such important work.
