Separation from loved ones was a sacrifice those who serve in the war had to endure. Here, a man wrote to his wife documenting how their son, who he had just brought with him to join the NLF, was coping with the new life in the jungle. He also asked her to take care of several errands at home for him.

What was the NLF? Why did people join? Who were the North Vietnamese? What were U.S. relations with Vietnam prior to 1945, 1954? Who was Ho Chi Minh and What role did he play? How were the enemy portrayed to U.S. troops and the public?
