About this episode
In this special episode of Dearest Suzie, we delve into the November 1964 entries from Bill Lowie’s Vietnam War diary. This pivotal month captures a blend of harrowing missions, fleeting moments of rest, and deeply personal reflections as Bill transitions from diary-keeping to his first letters home. From the challenges of troop transport and medevac missions to his thoughts on the complex political and cultural dynamics of the war, November offers a heartfelt look at the day-to-day realities of a U.S. Army pilot.
Through Bill’s words and photographs, experience the duality of combat and camaraderie, isolation and connection, as he navigates a world far from home yet brimming with shared humanity.
