Why Veterans Use a Guided Journal Most life story journals don't know how to ask about military service. They skip it or give you one page. This one understands that service is formative in ways that are hard to explain to people who haven't lived it. The prompts help bridge that gap. They ask the right questions so you don't have to figure out where to start. Your family gets answers to things they never knew to ask. The 7 x 10 inch size gives you room to write. 114 pages.
