Jonathan Fawcett

When Jonathan's father discovered letters dated 1942 from his grandfather, the two of them worked tirelessly to collect, transcribe, and publish the letters of U.S. Army Air Force Cpl. James R. Fawcett. Having passed away 12 years before Jonathan's birth, lingering questions and mysteries about his service in World War 2 were finally answered. This father-son project reveals the experience of a hopeful volunteer who ventured across the Pacific to fulfill his duty as a postal worker for the U.S. Army Air Force, the conversation with his mother and father, and how love took some unexpected turns.
