In this episode, we honor our country’s servicemen and women by presenting their powerful perspectives and heartfelt thoughts via the letters to and from the people they care about. Accounts from the first days of boot camp to the grim realities of the front line will bring the battlefields of our past—and in some cases our present—to life. From a minuteman of the Revolutionary War to a medic in Afghanistan giving a first hand account of a random act of kindness; from Sergeant Elvis Aaron Presley’s message to his obsessed fans to a heartbreaking “Dear John” to a soldier in Vietnam, you’ll get perspectives both private and public about the act of serving and the price of sacrifice. Great for educational settings and outreach!
