A deeply intimate documentary that lets American soldiers speak directly through their own words, creating a poignant meditation on love, loss, and the human cost of war.

Real-life letters written by American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines during the Vietnam War to their families and friends back home. Archive footage of the war and news coverage thereof augment the first-person "narrative" by men and women who were in the war, some of whom did not survive it.
