Since I mentioned the American Experience episode "War Letters" earlier this week, I thought today I would point you in the direction of another article about writing letters to soldiers. Doug Zellmer wrote "Communication from the frontlines: Letters used to rule, but now troops are just a click away from home" for The Northwestern in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It's interesting to read Zellmer's story about how communication has changed over the decades. (Note: I'm having a little trouble with the link, but it seems to work from time to time. Keep trying, if it doesn't work the first time.)
Any way you could reprint Zellmer's article? I've tried several times and can't get either to it or to Northwestern's web site.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't want to violate any copyrights. But I tried again after lunch, and it opened up immediately. Maybe they were just having some internet problems this morning.
