Doc Kelley: A Vietnam Combat Medic's Letters to his Wife

by Linda Pietenpol Kelley, Matt Kelley, James Kelley

It is 1970 and newlywed Linda's young soldier husband Jim has just boarded a jet plane bound for Vietnam, where he will serve as a combat medic. This is their story told through his letters home and her memories. Tragically their story is not unique. Anyone who's ever waited at home while their loved one is away at war will remember how it feels. Anyone who has someone in their life who was in a war before they knew them or even before they were born may begin to understand how war affects our very being. There is perhaps no more first hand information about what it's like to be in a war, than letters from a war zone.
