Veterans Writing Workshop at Methodist University is being held on Jan. 12, the initial meet up, and plans to continue monthly. The group will be free and is open to active-duty troops, veterans and military family members. "Our goal is to honor veterans and encourage them to tap into their creativity as they offer unique glimpses into their experiences," Robin Greene, an English teacher at Methodist said. "Even family members have the opportunity to write creatively about their experiences. Frequently, in the cry for service stories, we neglect their stories."
