Summary:

You can take the soldier from the war, but not the war from the soldier, and Thomas Doss is living proof of that. But the only thing greater than the scars from the War is his love for his sons, and if a father can't save them, maybe an old soldier can.

Or: Papa Doss wrestles with trauma and fetches that letter.
