Dear Home - Letters from World War Two

During WWII the American Postal Services was inundated with letters from servicemen to their family and friends, and return mail to the servicemen. The film is based on authentic letters sent by soldiers from the various war fronts. The letters describe basic training, the fighting, friends who were injured or killed, a longing to be home, the conditions of life on the front, and hope for a quick end to the war, their return home, and plans and dreams for the future. Upon a backdrop of letters, are views from original clips taken on various fronts that document the action.
