For as long as there have been wars, letters have been exchanged between soldiers and their families.

It reveals the harsh realities of being on the front lines as well as the bond of brotherhood that develops between comrades in arms. Anyone who has known someone who has gone away will recognize and understand the power of words to convey the longing of the heart and the needs of the soul that is brought to life against the backdrop of war.
