Fabulous!

Great use of words, images, and music to help illustrate the change in attitude of the American public on the subject of our involvement in the war in Vietnam. Takes us from sending in "advisors" in 1960, to the Tet Offensive in 1968, to the Fall of Saigon in 1975, to the Vietnam Memorial in the early 1980s. -- Simply the best!

Student request

This was a request for Christmas from a graduating history teacher, he wanted to be able to teach from a more knowledgeable position, being from that era I feel students need to be aware how much we service people gave.

Greatest picture of Vietnã ever shown

Using real letters from American soldiers who fought the Vietnam army, the story of the war is told in a totally different way, showing all it's dramas, as told by the ones who witnessed them. Everyone who is interested on the subject should, at least, watch the movie.

Emotional, Thought Provoking

I purchased this as a part of a lesson plan on the Vietnam unit. The letters are read by celebrities and they portray the emotions of fear, anger, loneliness and terror.

It's one thing to read about Vietnam, but to hear the actual letters and view video from real footage makes it more personal.

I would recommend this to any history buff, teacher or the individual who just wants to understand more of what our soldiers experienced.

Simply the Best!

This movie, Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam, is the quintessential film portraying both the agony of war and the triumph of the human spirit. I'm a teacher, and I show it to my classes every year. It positively arrests them. An unbelievable blend of humor, drama, hope, tragedy, and the reality of war. I cannot recommend this film more highly.
