Douglas, 

I was so overwhelmed and emotionally touched to be an eyewitness to many soldiers intimate and personal stories in your play on February 2, 2019.  I was able to feel this raw emotion thanks to your one man play, The American Solider.

As a Blue Star Mom of 2 Army Veterans, you evoked feelings that I had not felt before in regard to my boys deployments.  One son struggles to this day with the effects of war with TBI.   My hope and prayer is that The American Soldier would be seen by civilians across America, as well as military service members and their families.  This production WILL LET THEM SEE and FEEL what military life is about and the ongoing struggles that many war Veterans endure each day.

Thank you, Douglas,…my life is not the same since seeing The American Soldier.
