Honoring the Marriages of the Greatest Generation
|
||
The Institute for American Values is working on a project to preserve stories from local communities of marriages that began in the 1940s and 50s. Many of these men and women wrote love letters to each other during World War II. In that same spirit, please invite members of the Greatest Generation to write a love letter to their sweetheart today, perhaps using some of the starter questions below.
Your letter will be kept anonymous and may be shared in a publication. Please mail your letter to:
The Institute for American Values Or email your letter to: ggmarriages@gmail.com Thanks for helping IAV solicit love letters from the Greatest Generation to honor their marital legacy and to compile their marital advice! Letters will not be returned. Your name will be entered into a drawing. The winner will receive a copy of "The Book of Marriage: The Wisest Answers to the Toughest Questions" and "Thrift: A Cyclopedia." |
