StoryForce is a workshop designed by the Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) English Department to provide CFCC veterans and military family members a safe and respectful environment in which to explore their transition from military to academic/civilian life. The purpose of the group is to honor the experiences of the veterans and military family members on our campus by providing a space for them to share their stories. We commend our StoryForce participants for their courage and their creativity.

We dedicate this collection of writings to all of the men and women who have served and are still serving in the United States military – those brave individuals who have sworn to protect and defend our nation – and to their families who support them at home and abroad.

With gratitude and humility, we remember the fallen and pledge our support to those who have returned
