About

The Line is committed to a new generation of creative veterans, spotlighting those driven to produce contemplative, compelling, and cathartic content. Our primary focus is to publish veteran literature, art, social commentary, and reviews; however, we will consider any material created to bridge the gap between veterans and contemporary audiences.
