"I thought it was a great production; it definitely makes me rethink it all (war and such)."
"What really struck me about the production was the guy that talked about his little girl. I really never realized how lucky I am to grow up with a dad."
"I thought Letters Home was amazing. I learned a lot about what the people actually go through when they are out fighting for our country."
