The Red Badge Project connects veterans with professional authors and lets them share their own stories.
Actor Tom Skerritt understands first-hand how storytelling could help U.S. veterans returning home after their military service.The 90-year-old Hollywood actor – whose appearance in 1962's 'War Hunt' led to roles in 'M*A*S*H*', 'Top Gun' and others – served four years in the Air Force.In 2012, Skerritt met Evan Baily, who had recently returned stateside after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
'You share things there that you may not have shared with anybody else, and you feel safe in sharing that with other veterans, and you really get to know them, year after year,' Harrison said. Inside the classrooms, multi-media writer Warren Etheredge and author Suzanne Morrison teach the mechanics of storytelling. Morrison also leads classes for female veterans like Crystal Lee Dandridge, a torpedo man's mate adjusting to civilian life after 12 years in the Navy.
