One of the failings of most US history textbooks is that they are dry and devoid of personal stories which is why I use lots of primary documents in teaching US history. That is why I like the video above.
It is about a letter that took seventy years to be received. The sender wrote the letter to his wife before he shipped out to Okinawa where all of his battalion was killed. Play the video for the very interesting video and the impact of WWII (or any war) on its participants.
I found the video on Open Culture.
