Postcards from the Front

Step back to 1970 and into the heart of a soldier’s journey through the Vietnam War. Postcards from the Front is a powerful 25-card series told through letters from a 19-year-old Midwestern boy to his mother back home.

Each postcard arrives one at a time, every two weeks, carrying his voice across oceans and decades. At first, he writes with confidence and bravado. As the war wears on, his tone shifts—revealing fear, loss, friendship, and hope. You’ll follow him through battles, bonds of brotherhood, cultural touchstones of the time, and a near-unimaginable ending: his disappearance, capture, and eventual release as a POW.

What makes this series special:

• 25 vintage-style postcards mailed bi-weekly, unfolding the story piece by piece.

• Immersive historical details that capture the sights, sounds, and spirit of 1970.

• A deeply human narrative of courage, fear, and resilience.

• Shared experience — gift a subscription to a friend or family member and read along together as the story arrives.

This isn’t just a story you read. It’s a story you live with, one postcard at a time.

Special thanks to Gerry, Roy and Eddie who served their country with honor and sacrifice and contributed to the telling of this story.

📬 Perfect for history lovers, collectors, and anyone drawn to stories of connection, family, and survival.
