As a middle school Reading teacher I found Letters Home to be a
great tool in my classroom. We used it during Veteran's Day to
help show our students an appreciation and respect for those who
have served. They truly enjoyed reading the letters and trying to get a feel for the emotions that the soliders and families were having. Thank you for this wonderful collection and for keeping the spirit and memory of those who served alive. An added benefit was being a resident of Columbus, OH and being able to take my students on a trip to the wall of letters to experience it for themselves!

This book is a wonderful compilation of letters that will touch your heart. It gives you great insight into the way these men and women felt, what they went through, and what they gave to us all. I have always respected them, but I do more than ever after this glimpse into their reality.

This collection of letters from Ohio veterans is wonderfully chosen, well-presented, and sure to touch the heart of anybody whose life has been touched by military service.

Having read the book compiled by Dan Meeks it gave me the perfect insight into what goes through our troops minds and the feelings they must have for their loved ones.

I passed the book on to my father who was part of the D Day Landings who was also very moved by many of the stories and said it brought back amazing memories of his time in the trenches.

Well done Dan

Heartfelt and heartwarming. This book carries you through time and space and gives you a glimpse into the hearts and minds of Soldiers and their families. It is a tapestry of humanity. A look back at the lives and wartimes of this Century.

A fantastic addition for the Historian in your family. Great gift idea! A VERY good read.

Letters Home would provoke emotions in anyone who has been in the military and written home. Without the benefit of modern telecommunications, we did it the old fashioned way, with pen and paper, marking the envelope FREE. The excitement of mail call and the sadness of not getting any are all part of the process. No doubt, the same feeling existed on the homefront. During a war, the most important man on the block was the postman. Letters Home is a great example of the human side of war, the loneliness and the human spirit.
