Letters to The Wall Doug Rawlings

For the past six years we have been delivering letters to the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial (The Wall) in Washington, DC on Memorial Day. This past year, because of the Covid virus, we decided not to hold our usual ceremony. Instead, letters written for 2020 will be delivered individually by VFP member Mike Marceau. Over these past years we have collected and delivered a little over 500 letters. These letters were written by people who were "directly impacted" by the American war in Viet Nam. Since this is our last year of this project, I'd like to dedicate this book to all who have written letters over the years and to those members of Veterans For Peace who helped bring the Letters Campaign to fruition. The spirits of the men and women on The Wall will continue to motivate us all to work towards abolishing war from this planet. - Doug Rawlings
