WASHINGTON DC, 11/13/1982: Amid 150,000 people at the Vietnam Memorial Dedication, Martha meets an old friend: “Are you Mike Creamer from Marlboro, Mass?” This is a love story of unlikely sorts; he, a vet Ranger Medic of the 173rd ARBN, and she, a NYC graphic designer for fashion superstars. On their 3003-day journey, Mike fights PTSD. He re-ups; their letters attest of a growing love. Then Martha deals with losing their child probably poisoned by Agent Orange. This is War's ugly aftermath.
