VWP RECEIVES 450600 MANUSCRIPTS ANNUALLY AND AROUND 100 ARE PUBLISHED IN EACH OF THE THREE ISSUES OF OUR MAGAZINE, VETERANS VOICES. THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROGRAM TO HEAL AND EXPERIENCE SATISFACTION CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED BY ONE OF OUR VETERAN AUTHORS: I HAD A CHOICE ON THAT DAY TO EITHER WRITE OR COMMIT SUICIDE AND I CHOSE TO WRITE. IT LETS ME WRITE OUT EMOTIONS THAT I FEEL, AND I CAN FORGET ABOUT IT FOR AWHILE. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE I CAN LET MY DEMONS LOOSE AND REALLY EXPRESS MYSELF.
