The American Soldier

Your play provided some reassurance of the multi-faceted duties, conundrums, consequences and contributions of American Soldiers, over the course of our country's history as just that - complicated and consequential in all kinds of long and short term ways. I realize how much more complicated and difficult it is to protect and preserve a country than most civilians think. The play was a useful and important prompt for me to continue sorting out those difficult realities. It also provided an opening for me to appreciate the safety and security I enjoy because of them. Compassion, Gratitude and THANK YOU to you and all of them!

My deceased husband was a Marine who served 3 tours in Vietnam. Only now, am I beginning to better understand and appreciate the training, commitment and dedication that came along with it. 

Thank you for what you do!
