Your Call

Your Call Is Very Important to Us is a powerful collection of stories, poems, and artwork from veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan War era—voices that are too often unheard, yet deeply needed. Through raw honesty and creative expression, these servicemembers share their experiences not only of war, but of what comes after: the search for purpose, identity, and healing.

This anthology stands as a reminder that veterans are more than their service. Their talents, perspectives, and stories reach far beyond the battlefield, offering connection to those who seek to understand and solidarity to those still finding their way.

For many contributors, writing and art have become lifelines—tools for processing, for rebuilding, and for hope. May this work serve as a bridge: helping veterans feel seen and reminding civilians that understanding begins with listening.

Proceeds from this book support the WeDefy Foundation, providing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu scholarships to disabled veterans.
