The Vietnam War was a difficult reality for an entire generation. For Don Eggspuehler his draft notice appeared on his graduation day from Ohio State University.
Don went on to become a pilot in the Marine Corps flying A6 jets. In Vietnam, A6 jets supported the ground troops, targeting enemy troops and missiles on the ground.
Don wrote home regularly sharing his loss of friends and fellow pilots, as well as the details of his Vietnam experience. Years later, while visiting his ailing mother, he discovered a box of letters. His letters. From Vietnam.
Don’s book, Letters To Mom, Â is a compilation of letters and photos. It offers a first hand account of the war, on the ground and in the air. Join us for some good tales, and some difficult ones, from a war that shaped a generation.
