    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 and help me get the letters home

    Jan 4 2026
    In this first episode of 2026 we will hear an amazing story about courage, American grit and survival. PFC Fritchman, of Bethlehem PA, served in WW2 and was captured by the Germans in February 1945. He was a POW for 73 days at Stalag-IXB at Bad Orb. Here is first hand account of capture and liberation through newspaper accounts of the events.
    What if an ancestor who served in World War II—someone you never even met—had written letters you never knew existed… and suddenly they surfaced in the world?
    That’s what this podcast is about: real letters written home by U.S. servicemen and women during World War II. My mission is simple: to bring these World War II voices back to the families they belong to—one letter, one story at a time.
