On the day he graduated from college, he didn’t get a job offer or a celebration trip.
He got a draft notice.
Within 30 days, he would trade his cap and gown for a flight suit, and step into a war he thought would be over long before he ever saw combat.
By 1972, he was flying A-6 jets out of Thailand into Vietnam every single day—bombing by day to protect troops on the ground, and hunting supply trucks by night.
Seven of his closest squadron buddies never came home.
Fifty-five thousand Americans died, and when it all ended, it felt like the country simply walked away.
He came back from Vietnam bitter, silent, and carrying memories he rarely shared with anyone.
And then, years later, his mother got cancer.
On a visit home to Iowa, he asked her a simple question:
‘Mom… did you ever save any of those letters I sent you from the war?’
What she told him next—and what he found in a dusty box in the attic—changed the way he remembered everything.
This is Letters to Mom.
