"Having now had an opportunity to look through the book
in greater detail I want to commend you on an
outstanding product that resonates very well with us
Vietnam vets."

"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness in sending in
your new book, Vietnam Mailbag. Quite clearly it has
been a labor of love...Our Vietnam film is slated for a
few years down the road, but we're certainly honored to
include Vietnam Mailbag in the resources we'll be
collecting between now and when we begin our research."
Ken Burns

"[The book] is just beautiful. I flipped through it just
now and Sen. Carper walked through my office door just
as I was closing it. We looked through it a little bit
and are SO impressed. Incredible work - you should be so
proud! He took it into his office and - I am confident -
will find a home for it where it can be shared with
others."
Emily W. Cunningham
DE Press Secretary
U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.)

As much as we might think we know the Vietnam War, we
discover in a book like Nancy Lynch's Vietnam Mailbag
that the full story is infinitely more powerful and
compelling than we could have possibly imagined. In 1968
Nancy did an extraordinary thing in reaching out to
young troops serving in Southeast Asia and bringing
their distinct voices to life. And now, forty years
later, she honors them again by reminding a new
generation of Americans how much our troops sacrificed
for this country. Vietnam Mailbag is a timeless,
breathtaking tribute to them, and it is a gift to us
all.

and Behind the Lines

Nancy Lynch has done a marvelous service to all our
Vietnam Veterans and America in her compilation of
letters from Delaware servicemen serving in South
Vietnam from 1968 to 1972. The letters in Vietnam
Mailbag reflect everybody's views the good, the
bad and the ugly and give the reader an accurate
understanding of how our troops felt about the war.
After four tours under three different presidents in
63-64, 67, 68 and '69, I too have my views, and it
was fascinating to hear others. Nancy does an excellent
job in tracking a dozen Vietnam veterans and letting
them describe how the war was a turning point in their
lives positive for some, negative for others. Thanks,
Nancy, for reminding us all of their sacrifices and
service to our Nation.
Air Force Lt. Gen. (ret.) Thomas G.
McInerney, Fox News Senior Military Analyst
*****
Nancys book is a must read for all people veterans
and non-veterans alike. As a veteran I know she has her
finger on the pulse of a nation at war. Everything rings
true. The honest dialogue and rich details provide an
authentic read.
