Frank Love Letters

Frank Love Letters: To the Hitler Line follows the story of Horgie and Peachie as he arrives in the United Kigndom and is assigned to a holding unit. He starts his journey at various hot spots around Europe and eventually making his way to the forefront of the Hitler Line in Italy where the action starts. I honour these five months of letters as they are the last of his writings before he experienced the horrors of war. I don't know if or how my grandpa was supported for post-traumatic stress but I understand it had an impact on the family and many other families at the time. My grandmother is to be honoured as well as the sons, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandkids that loved him as he was. Society has learned through research that PTSD is treatable and there is a way to support someone that has experienced significant trauma. Timely access to treatment with family support is imperative to a successful recovery. So be loving, be compassionate, and be kind.

After reading all the letters I have to date, I have come to understand that there are only two things worth fighting for; 1. Human Rights (The Four Freedoms); and 2. To get home to be with your family. An organization that does this professionally day in and day out in my community is called The Green Wood Coalition. They are good people doing the work of advocating for those in need and vulnerable peoples in the community as well as help people get feel safe at home. 40% of the proceeds of this book sold between June 1, 2023 and May 31, 2028 will be directed to Green Wood to continue their work. We do what we can when we can. Together with Green Wood, and other allies, we can do a lot.
