War and Family:Letters Home
**Amazing update on the podcast episode where we learned about Lt Richard K. Kauffman Jr and a postcard he wrote to his son from England in 1944 while serving as a combat cameraman. Well! Richard Kauffman III contacted me ! And today, 79 years later, while recording Sgt Lynn's podcast I got confirmation that the podcast has made it home! That is what this podcast is all about! returning history to families, one letter and one story at a time!
During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. It is my hope that All letters in these podcasts will return to family. If you recognize the soldiers or families, please reach out to me at
[email protected] and help me get the letters home
