"I could not put the book down and read it cover to cover in one sitting. Any veteran, spouse, or friend of a veteran, for or against our involvement in Vietnam, knows the importance of Mail Call." -Lt. Col. Jim Dyer, US Army, retired In 1968 Jay Fox is a young marine attack pilot in Vietnam and Ashley Beth Justice is a college freshman in North Carolina when they meet each other by chance, through letters. Ashley Beth, naive and totally separated from the Vietnam War, begins her letter-writing as a way to personally contribute to the war effort. Having recently moved away from her small hometown, she’s beginning to see the world from a new perspective. Jay, in the midst of bombing runs each evening, has purposefully distanced himself from any close relationships, but there’s something about Ashley Beth’s innocent and forthright manner that compels him to answer her letters. The reality of the war hits home for Ashley Beth when Jay describes his plane almost colliding with another after a dangerous bombing run. The stakes are higher now-the disagreements, more intense; the flirtations, more significant. Even amid the bloodshed in Vietnam and the civil unrest at home, Jay and Ashley Beth dare to dream of a life together while struggling to understand the war and themselves in To Any Soldier.

Letters from Above often carried more than just news, they could also carry Hope, Love, and a Future. Such was the 'ANY SOLDIER MAIL' letter that Lieutenant Douglas Morgan received from Miss Barbara Wilson while serving in Vietnam in 1969-1970.Many soldiers and officers who served in Vietnam were very young for the time. Most young soldiers were 18-22 years of age and most young officers were 20-23 years of age. Many soldiers also did not get mail which was considered the lifeline back to the States. Letters from above were delivered daily to soldiers in Vietnam often using the helicopter that was so plentiful in the Vietnam War. Every soldier loved getting a letter from home, but many seldom got any letters for various reasons. Newspapers during the Vietnam War began publishing addresses where citizens could write a letter to "Any Soldier" so that the troops would get mail from home. These Letters from Above often carried more than just news, they could also carry Hope, Love and a future. Such was the letter that Lieutenant Douglas Morgan received from a Miss Barbara Wilson and led to a love and life he had even imagined.

Excerpt from The Soldier Boy, or Tom Somers in the Army: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume is not altogether a military romance, though it contains the adventures of one of those noble-hearted and pa triotic young men who went forth from homes of plenty and happiness to fight the battles of our imperilled country. The incidents of the story may be stirring and exciting; yet they are not only within the bounds of probability, but have been more than paralleled in the experience of hundreds of the gal lant soldiers of the loyal army. The work is not intended to approach the dignity of a his tory, though the writer has carefully consulted the authorities, both loyal and rebel, and has taken down the living words of enthusiastic participants in the stirring scenes described in this volume. He has not attempted to give a full picture of any battle, or other army operation, but simply of those move ments in which the hero took a part. The book is a nar rative of personal adventure, delineating the birth and growth of a pure patriotism in the soul of the hero, and describing the perils and privations, the battles and marches which he shared with thousands of brave men in the army of the Po tomac.

I Hope This Reaches You: An American Soldier’s Account of World War I begins in May 1917 with Byron Fiske Field (1897–1968) boarding a morning train bound for Detroit with one objective in mind: to help the United States win the war against Germany. A pacifist at heart, Field had just finished his freshman year at Albion College where he was studying to be a Methodist missionary. Although he found the idea of killing another human to be at odds with his Christian beliefs, like other Americans he was convinced of the righteousness of World War I—the war to end all wars—and he was determined to do his part. In recounting Field’s story, Hilary Connor relied on four principal sources of information found in a footlocker issued to Field as a member of the 168th Ambulance Company in the 42nd Division—or as it was more famously known, the Rainbow Division. The first of these sources is a handwritten diary kept by Byron from February 1918 to July 1919. The second cache of firsthand information is contained in two books that were co-authored by Field and other select Company members in the late winter and early spring of 1919, recounting events and personal experiences of the war—The History of Ambulance Company 168 and Iodine and Gasoline. The third and perhaps most extraordinary source is a collection of over three hundred letters written by Field during the war to his parents and college girlfriend. Included in many of the letters are mementos ranging from the petals of regional flowers in bloom to Red Cross notices to church service programs and other pieces of everyday life that proved invaluable in helping to create a broader and richer historical context. The last category of material is a voluminous collection of personal papers, including academic articles, speech notes, and opinion pieces, written by Field in the decades following the war. The breadth of materials is only further enhanced by the benefit of one hundred years hindsight, lending itself to a more thorough understanding of many of the momentous events that occurred during those years. I Hope This Reaches You is a tapestry of human experience woven from the narrative threads of love, loss, loyalty, sacrifice, triumph, and tragedy that will call to any reader of historical memoirs.
