Return to Sender
Honoring the ultimate sacrifice of 76 young men from Southwest Florida in the Vietnam War.
"Return to Sender" reveals the commitment of brotherhood, the painful reality of motherhood and the deeper meaning of neighborhood. Southwest Florida erected its own healing memorial in Lee County under the Veterans Parkway Bridge. Contractors from five county areas eagerly jumped at the opportunity to contribute to such a profound project. Follow them and the memorial's construction from conception to reality and walk alongside this relentless journey of contribution and honor. *** This 24 minute film recounts the story of Alfreda Luckey who in 2008 opens a trunk with her son Jimmy's personal belongings inside. Listen as she reads aloud the letters that were returned unopened as well as those that he received from her just days before he was killed. *** There in the jungles of Vietnam, more than nine thousand miles away, America lost what it has cherished the most, its innocence. A Rusty Farst Production.
(With great sadness, we learned that this memorial was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022 and has not yet been re-erected.)
