Annotation
For All the Soldiers (Chandler, Howard) Country. Early 1970s? Letter to Congressman to back the boys in Vietnam. Stand by the president (Nixon?), and help him bring peace to Vietnam. He wanted to keep the soldiers away from trial and prison - a subtle reference to My Lai and Lt. William Calley??
