(Note: Stuffed inside the playbill handed out at each performance is a 3x5 Comment Card that asks for basic demographic info, along with a request to flip the card over and jot down any comments that one might have about the play. The following are samplings from those cards.) "You were terrific in everything. As a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars a lot of memories were rekindled and so many of the letters sounded so familiar. Thank you so very much for making me realize to count my blessings again and realize how lucky I am. God bless you all in your future performances around the world." - - Dover AFB, Delaware "One of the best plays I have seen in a life devoted to literature." -- Ft. Drum, NY "I especially enjoyed the scene where, as Katharine was looking thru the scrapbook of memories, the pictures were flashing behind her for the whole audience to see. Excellent!!!! -- Nellis AFB, Nevada "I enjoyed the humor along with the letters. I was part of the 101st ABN Div during Desert Shield/Storm and the play reminded me of the letters I received and wrote while there. This is the first play I have been to and it made me want to see more. Great job." -- Fort Sill, OK "Being both a veteran and a woman, I was so pleased to see Letters From The Front. For the fact that it was honest and open about how war can easily be commercialized and calculated. But more important, it showed the troops here tonight the reality of the emotions of the people who must wait and love them. And hopefully they all will realize that you can still be a good soldier and have human fears. I enjoyed this show immensely!! Thank you." -- Camp LeJeune, NC "Great show!! As a retiree and now a spouse with a wife who has served in Panama and the Gulf, I have lived through and experienced the emotions that surround both sides. For me the play was rather emotional and real. We as Americans should never take for granted the emotions, fears, sacrifices, and feelings associated with the duty our soldiers and their loved ones undertake to keep America free." -- Ft. Meade, MD "Super job -- thanks for coming to Andrews AFB -- You hit home to those of us who've been there and are now sending our sons and daughters." -- Andrews AFB, DC "That idea that we all have basic concerns and that war has always made us understand how much alike we are." -- Vandenberg AFB, CA "It went from sad to happy. The letters say it all." -- Little Creek NAB, VA "Dannette Bock and Neal Matthews were superb. Letters From the Front is truly a patriotic masterpiece. I salute the Defense Commissary Agency Worldwide Promotions for this very fine production. Having served overseas, letters are very vital to the morale of all service members. Thanks for a job well done." -- Mayor Lloyd J. Parker, Junction City (Ft. Riley), KS "The quality of the acting is the best I've seen on stage in years. The story the play tells is sincere, authentic, and cuts to the heart." -- 49, male retired, Maxwell AFB, AL "Actors were outstanding!" -- 49, male retired, Andrews AFB, MD "Brought back poignant memories of my husband in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf, and letters my mother shared with me from my father in WWII and the letters my mother-in-law has from Korea! Letters have been everything for my family. Wonderful production." -- 49, female retired, Eglin AFB, FL "Brought back memories that have been on the back burner since "Nam." Nice to know someone cares about the service members' contributions and their families' sacrifices. Thanks and God bless." -- 55, male retired, Charleston AFB, SC "Brings back many memories. I was a young girl when Pearl Harbor was bombed and then went to nurses' school in the Cadet Nurses Corp. in 1944, but did not go in the service as the war was over before I graduated. Hope I have seen my last war." -- 75, female, retired, Ft. McPherson, GA "Emotions, the letters -- the play was from the heart!" -- 51, male, retired, Beale AFB, CA |
