This story begins when two sisters find a thirty-three-year-old unopened letter their father wrote to their older brother, Johnny, in 1970. Johnny had been killed in Vietnam by the time it arrived, and so it was returned home. They discover their father had kept it, sealed, for all those years.The Letter - A Family's Tale Unplugged, goes back to 1969, when ten-year-old Terri enjoys a care-free life. Then the Vietnam War brings turmoil into her life when her oldest brother, Johnny, decides to join the Marines and fight for his country. A short year later, two Marines bring news of Johnny's death. The letters her brother writes home and countless interviews with family members long after his death bring to life a young warrior who left behind a void that can be felt decades later. Showing one family's struggle through loss and back to normalcy, The Letter is a loving and caring monument to the people who fought in the war zones of Vietnam and at home.
