Letters on the Wall
Category: History: Military: Vietnam
Author: Michael Sofarelli
Copyright/published Year: 2006 by Collins
ISBN: 0061148776
Binding: hardcover
Since its creation in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has
become the most visited National Park Services site. Each year,
4.5 million people come to the Wall. Many of them leave letters
or other special objects. Every night, park rangers collect and
inventory these mementos - now numbering well over 90,000 - and
put them into government storage. Michael Sofarelli, the son of a
Vietnam War veteran, has combed through the archives searching
for the most gripping letters and objects: a mother awaiting word
of her missing son, a former comrade recounting a battle story, a
pair of well-worn ballet slippers, and a collection of cigars.
These items are not only a tribute to the fallen soldiers; they
pay tribute as well to the families and friends who waited at
home and the comrades who have never forgotten their brothers.
They tell the story of a war that is still being fought by many
who served and a conflict that changed the lives of many
Americans forever.
