The Pen and the Sword

Inspired by the Ithaca chapter of Warrior Writers, we are a small group of civilians who write about issues of wars that, as American citizens, are waged in our name and under the flag we acknowledge as our own. We meet every two weeks to write to six prompts organized by theme. Below are our most recent themes with writing by participants. Adding to this collection is an on-going project.
