About Lines of Fire
Military.com is proud to announce LINES OF FIRE, a collaboration with the Legacy Project to feature a war letter (or e-mail) on this site each week for the next year. Since 1998, Americans have shared with the Legacy Project an estimated 75,000 letters from every conflict in U.S. history, including e-mails from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Legacy Project is a national, all-volunteer effort that works to honor and remember American veterans by preserving their correspondences for posterity. "There are no greater experts on the subject of warfare than the men and women who have experienced it firsthand," says Legacy Project founder Andrew Carroll. He adds: "Our mission is to encourage veterans, active duty troops, and their families to save these irreplaceable letters and e-mails so that we can better understand the sacrifices they have made -- and continue to make -- for every one of us." Andrew Carroll will personally select the letters for this special LINES OF FIRE series, some of which have been published in his national bestseller WAR LETTERS: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars or the recently-published BEHIND THE LINES: Powerful and Revealing American and Foreign War Letters -- And One Man's Search to Find Them. But Carroll will also provide letters and e-mails exclusively to Military.com that have never been published, and he will add "behind the scenes" commentary relating to each selection. For more information about the Legacy Project's mission, please visit their website: www.warletters.com
