Dearest Doris: A Chaplain’s Letters Home

Gerald Fletcher Miller served as an Army Chaplin from 1943 - 1945 in the European theater of WWII. His letters home to his wife serve as the center piece of this amazing love story that still resonates with the Miller family and all those who are exposed to this history. The chronicling of these letters by one of their son’s, Anthony Gerald Miller, saves the tenderness of this man towards his wife, and gives others the unique appreciation of the history of that war from a uniquely personal point of view. Gerald’s letters home trace the many places the army unit Pastor Miller was serving, as the invasion to free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany is underway. The letters are filled with wit and observations, that transport those who were not alive when this war was fought back into those days. The pastor’s sense of duty and calling, and his unbridled love for his family sends a message that every generation needs to hear and hopefully emulate.
