Also presents the painful, tender, and haunting tales of those who wrote these letters: wives, children, siblings. Since its dedication in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has become the embodiment of America's pain, grief and healing in the wake of America's least popular war. Shrapnel in the Heart is an evocative, heart-wrenching collection of over 100 letters left at the memorial--and the stories of the wives, children and buddies who wrote them. Photos. |
