I love this poem! For once, I've finally found a poem I can thoroughly enjoy reading the first time through. The repetition of the "Dear Mom, sure rains a lot here" really gets to me. I also love this poem because I understand it. During the Vietnam War, the public was upset for not being informed more about the war. Once they were informed, they thought it was too much information. The reality of war really upset the homefront during the war. The mom represents the rest of the United States in the Vietnam War.
