  • I want more.

    Absolutely love and appreciate the story of these brothers and the historical context. It felt short to me only in that I wanted more. More of the actual letters. Most likely doesn’t make for a good podcast. Get it. 5 stars. Thank you for telling their story within our history.

    This was fantastic, though I wish we’d heard far more of the letters than we did. I’ll check out the website for more info, but I would definitely tune in if ever you guys decided to expand this further and add additional episodes.

  • Thanks for a great podcast

    I’m a bit history buff and I’m especially interested in veterans war experience and I’m so glad that I found this podcast. This brought me to a time and place that I didn’t exist but so much appreciate the lives sacrificed for the peace we have today. Stories like these should be told and remembered for generations to come. I hope Frank was able to overcome the demons that were with him and had a peaceful life in the end.
