Video description: During WWII Corporal Francis Seibert of Defiance, Ohio wrote to his family almost daily, illustrating his envelopes with elaborate cartoons--all 614 of these letters were lovingly saved by his mother.
This award winning documentary takes the 82-year-old Seibert through a historic journey as he revisits those letters for the first time in over 60 years.
Throughout all of these letters the underlying message is how important family is, how we take for granted what we have until it is taken away from us, and how often it takes a tragic situation to express how we really feel."Letters to Defiance" trailer
