Included in FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS FROM OUR FORGOTTEN WAR are 30 letters written and sent between May 1951 and May 1953. Twenty-Eight of them were sent to newlyweds Frank and Mary Gossett where they lived in New York’s Washington Heights. Two of them were sent to army soldier CPL Edward F. (Eddie) Hines somewhere in Korea. Nine men and women; between the ages of 16 and 22; sent these letters. They called themselves the “gang†in their letters; but they were just young people dealing with the uncertainty of a country at war and knowing they may pay the price with their lives and sanity. These letters and a few more were kept in a tin canister in Frank Gossett’s closet for over 60 years. These letters are a testament to his earnest efforts and struggles and those of his family and friends at a very troubling time in our country.
