LETTERS FROM THE BATTLEFIELD

Letter Stack Profile.jpeg

Jacqueline Lundquist's father, Donald C. Lundquist, was a Lt. Col during the Vietnam

War.  He wrote letters and recorded audio tapes that he sent to his wife and daughter

during the war.  When she was 5 years old, her father died. 

 

Her mother gave her the letters and audio tapes in her early twenties.  But she didn't read them until

the summer of 1997 when she was 7 months pregnant with her son, Sam.  She was 34.  Through these letters and audio tapes, she got to know her father.  After this life-changing experience, for the first time in her life, she knew her father and wrote him letters that became the basis of her book,

LETTERS FROM VIETNAM:

A Daughter's Search For Her Father 

 

 The success of the book set her on a journey of retracing his steps to Vietnam. 

She went on a second trip to write a screenplay.  During that trip, she met a family whose dad had fought in the same war against her dad, who had also written letters from the war to his family.  After this meeting a second book was written,

LETTERS FROM THE BATTLEFIELD

That book combined the letters of the two soldiers and their children writing letters to them.  This is their contrasting, yet similar story.  This is their remarkable story.
