A Son’s Daily Letters from WarDon was drafted in 1969, already holding a pilot’s license, and chose to serve as a Marine Corps pilot. His mother, Eleanor, was deeply worried about his safety. In a gesture of love and reassurance, Don vowed to write to her every day—no matter what.
Those letters became a journal of truth, love, and survival. Re-reading them decades later became a deeply emotional journey. In Letters to Mom, Don shares not only his experiences in boot camp, flight school, and combat, but also the heart of a mother-son bond that distance and war could never break.
