Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam is a compilation of selected letters from correspondent soldiers who served in the Vietnam war to their friends and family in the United States. Despite the suffering, many of these original letters from their loved ones still exist and hold a sentimental value to them. The film presents the history of the war in a way that is somewhat misleading, due to the exclusion of someessentialdetails. Like how it avoids the fact that the United States lost the war.
