Life has its own way of showing us the brighter side of darkness. When we are in despair, what comes after is this sudden glimmer of hope that seems to contrast and show us how immense the grace from the other side. Bringing us deeper into that connection is singer-songwriter, Alex Woodard. Alex shares how she found beauty from the ashes through her For The Sender project. With her passion for singing and songwriting, she has seen many wildflowers come out of their struggles. Alex believes that there can be a deep connection from what seem to be disconnected ideas or events or concepts – the beauty rising from the ashes.Love the show?

In this serendipitous, full-circle episode of For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam, I meet a dog trainer who rescues dogs from shelters and trains them to be psychiatric service dogs for veterans. I realize that the three things I depend on also ease the burdens carried by the veterans I've met with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. And what inspired the For The Sender project is the same force that will bring it to a close: The love of a dog.  

Welcome to Episode 5 of For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam, a true story told about an incredible correspondence into the past between a daughter, Jennifer, and her dad, Sergeant John Fuller, who was stationed in Vietnam in 1968. If this is your first time listening, you may want to check out the previous episodes first, since the story unfolds one episode after another. You can find those by going to forthesender.com, scrolling down, and clicking on ‘podcast.’ Or you can subscribe to the For The Sender podcast on iTunes. So far you've heard this story evolve from a decades-old correspondence buried inside a box with the words Love Letters from Vietnam etched on top. You've experienced some of those letters, which were sent from Sergeant Fuller stationed in Da Nang to his young wife in East Texas, as read by his son decades later. You've heard Sergeant Fuller's daughter, Jennifer, read in her own words her response to those letters, which she found buried in a closet almost 40 years after they were sent. And you've heard how that correspondence was given to me, and even heard me sing a few songs from Sergeant John Fuller's heart, based on the letters he sent to his wife.   In this episode, as I make my return to burn-scarred Idaho, the shift really happens. We find out why Sergeant Fuller isn’t reading his own letters in this broadcast series… why his son has to read them instead. We start with the last letter sent from Sergeant Fuller's daughter, Jennifer, to her dad. As you've heard her do before, she's answering one of the letters her dad sent to her mom decades ago when he was stationed there in Vietnam. This exchange hints at what happens to Sergeant Fuller, and those hints become brutal facts later in the episode, told through a real-life newspaper account. You're going to find out why Jennifer was broken wide open, and why she started sending letters to her dad back in time in the first place.  And why she has to send letters to heaven now.

Welcome to Episode 4 of For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam, a true story told week by week about an incredible correspondence into the past between a daughter, Jennifer, and her dad, Sergeant John Fuller, who was stationed in Vietnam in 1968. If this is your first time listening, you may want to check out the previous episodes first, since the story unfolds one episode after another. You can find those by going to forthesender.com, scrolling down, and clicking on ‘podcast.’ Or you can subscribe to the For The Sender podcast on iTunes. In this episode, I take you on my own sort of time travel, as I start learning more about one of the most tumultuous eras in our history by putting myself into the hearts of several different major characters from 1968. I literally drop down into the huge important scenes from our history and show you through these characters eyes what the landscape looks like. Whoever posts to the Alex Woodard Facebook page or the For The Sender Facebook page first, with who these characters actually are (their names), will get a signed copy of For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam. So stay with me through this as I become these different characters, because in this episode I also really become Sergeant John Fuller and put myself in his heart and behind his eyes and sing one of my favorite songs from the For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam album. And yes, there is an album. I’ve gotten a few emails from folks who have just started listening and are wondering if the songs that they’re hearing are available. This is story with a soundtrack… it’s a book and album package that has already been released. It’s called For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam and it’s available at. Proceeds go to veterans causes featured throughout the book, which you’re listening to right now. So you can also just keep on listening. Onward to Episode 4, which starts with Jennifer answering another letter back in time that her dad sent to her mom, Rebecca, in 1968. And in this letter, her dad references an ‘offensive last January’, which is the Tet Offensive, and that inspired me to learn more about that era and put myself behind the eyes of these different characters in history.  So… I’ll see you on the other side.

For The Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam is a true story told week by week about an incredible correspondence into the past between a daughter, Jennifer, and her dad, Sergeant John Fuller, who was stationed in Vietnam in 1968. If this is your first time listening, PLEASE check out the previous episodes first, since the story unfolds sequentially, one episode after another and things will make a lot more sense once you're into the flow. You can find those episodes by going to forthesender.com, scrolling down, and clicking on ‘podcast.’ You can also find them at Facebook.com/forthesender, or subscribe to the For The Sender podcast on iTunes. So why was Jennifer sending these letters back in time? Why not write to her dad now, in the present? Did something happen to him? I start to uncover some answers to those questions in Episode 3, which begins with another letter sent back in time from Jennifer to her dad. You’ll hear her real voice, just like the other episodes, and the voice of her brother as her dad. But why isn’t her dad reading his own letters for this podcast? You’re going to find out over the next few episodes. But first, we need to get two veterans who are wars and decades and countries apart into the water together. One veteran you've already met, the other one is knocking on the door now, surfboard in hand.
