In this special episode of Dearest Suzie, we reflect on the December 1964 letters from Bill Lowie, offering a snapshot of the challenges and small comforts of a soldier's life during the Vietnam War. From navigating dangerous flights over the ocean to moments of nostalgia sparked by a French beachside hotel, this month reveals the duality of war—where peril and longing for home coexist.
Bill’s letters recount improving mail delivery that brought treasured connections, the harrowing realities of his missions, and his hope to hear his son’s voice on a tape recording. With reflections on paydays, camaraderie, and even a fleeting appearance at a Bob Hope show, December paints a vivid picture of life in wartime Vietnam as one year closes and another approaches.
