A Thousand Letters Home --  Author Teresa Irish
Presents "The Journey of the Letters"

Teresa Irish
presents the entertaining, inspirational and life-affirming story of The
Journey of the Letters. After the 2006 death of her father, Bud, recipient
of the Silver Star, Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars, Teresa found the
1,000 letters he wrote home from WWII and 250
corresponding
photographs. Visited only by him over the course of six decades, the
letters were postmarked from Nov 1942 to Dec 1945. The fragile, yellowed
pages were written to Bud's parents, and to the
sweetheart who would
later become his wife. These treasures are the basis for the book "A
Thousand Letters Home".
>From lonesome, moonlit nights listening
to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany, to
correspondence with the heartbroken mothers whose sons died by his side,
this is a historic story of life & loss, hope & perseverance,
unwavering faith & true love. 


The program is a
heartfelt journey back in time, a tribute to our
country's history,
freedoms and family values, and a call to citizenship in today's world.
Irish's storytelling, accompanied by 1940s photographs and music, has
audiences laughing, crying, and reminiscing. This program reaches across
generations with a little something for everyone. 


  
Hardcover and softcover books will be available for sale & signing.
