Sommario/riassunto

"At the height of American participation in the Vietnam War, U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot Major Ray B. Stice, his wife Elizabeth, and their four children wrote to each other daily from October 1966 until his return home in late 1967. These handwritten letters were painstakingly transcribed here to capture the family's devotion to each other while apart and detail their struggles, triumphs, laughter, and tears. Their correspondence became a lifeline for the Stice family and displayed



their unwavering love that endured despite the perils of war"--
