First released in November 2012, "Proud to Be: Writing by American Warriors" is a creative writing anthology of poetry, fiction, essays, and photography by veterans, service members, and military-connected family members nationwide. This yearly anthology is funded by Missouri Humanities and is published in partnership with small University Presses. Missouri Humanities believes every veteran has a story to tell and the importance of communities listening and learning from these stories of service to country, courage, and honor.
