About

As the United States and other countries prepare to observe the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, our thoughts go to the brave military members who serve our nations at home and abroad and those who also serve by waiting faithfully and supporting the military members with calls, letters, care packages, and other expressions of love and appreciation during times of deployment. Silver Boomer Books wants your stories, poems, essays and interviews dealing with military life and experience. As always, we're looking for quality over quantity and actually favor shorter works, especially shorter poetry. We're open to stories from the American Revolution to current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; stories from the homefront, the battlefront or behind the lines; humor, courage, pathos or drudgery.
