Over the last 12 years writers with the My Life, My Story project at the Department of Veterans Affairs we have interviewed over 10,000 veterans and written short stories about their lives. Each story is reviewed and edited by the veteran, and with their approval, added to their VA medical record. Any VA provider who is caring for that vet can easily find their story and read, in their own words, what matters to them, who matters to them, and why.
We keep each story to about 1,000 words so that health care providers have time in their busy days to read them.
