New group asks vets to tell their stories

Writing

OCEANSIDE — A new writing group is looking for military veterans of North San Diego County.

Do you have a story about yourself or someone you knew during their time in service? A hero?

The company clown? A comrade in arms? Now you can tell your story your way.

Any interested veterans are invited to join the 16-week writing seminar, meeting once a week, which will culminate with performances in and around your North County community, shows in September and November.

Sessions begin at 5 p.m. June 4, at the Immanuel Lutheran Church hall, 1900 S. Nevada St.

The organizers believe that America wants to know what our veterans went through to defend our freedoms and wants to hear it in their own voice.

These stories will become a dramatic history presentation, retelling the American Veterans’ experience through a series of writings, poems, and song.

Men and women veterans, all branches of the service, are encouraged to put their stories down in a medium that is a part of their life.

During the scheduled sessions you will have assistance in your writings and experience stage presentation, work within a group of like-minded vets in a friendly environment, and have time to hone your writing, music and poetry.
