US Army Military History Contest

"The Center of Military History is pleased to announce its Special Topics Writing Competition, now named for General James Lawton Collins, Jr, a visionary Army leader, educator, and historian. The goal of this contest is to obtain firsthand accounts from junior officers describing how their unit responded when facing a particular challenge in the current war. The Center of Military History wants to capture the small-unit-level view of this conflict for inclusion in future publications."

There are awards of $500. and $250. for the winning essays.

I have printed out the rules and sent it to the soldiers I know who might be interested. Their stories are important and should be preserved.
