My mother kept track of her brothers on that map. When she received an airmail letter, she would move the stickpins to a new location to see if one of her brothers was in harm’s way in some new hot spot or battle. I spent a lot of time worrying about that map.\n\nI had five uncles in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Looking back, I guess it is a bit unusual for a girl of nine or ten to write letters to her uncles in Vietnam, in Thailand, in Cambodia. Even then, I knew that words could make one feel better.\n\n“I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed (if that is the right word) every poem.” — Tim O'Brien, the author of The Things They Carried\n\nIf you like history, stories about family, and are interested in the Vietnam era, read Airmail: A Story of War in Poems. You will experience an emotional journey on every page.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0B4DLVV4B\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0B4DLVV4B.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Patrick, Kathleen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
