Tally Dugan, a colleen of twenty-one, came to San Diego when her brother, a badly wounded marine, was transferred to the naval hospital for intensive treatment. Tally met Cory Zigler, a young naval officer in the Amphibious Corps and a whirlwind romance ensued before Cory left for the Pacific campaign. Their love flourished in letters, as did the love of thousands of other who pitted their emotions against the turmoils of war. Step back in time to relive the essence of young love and continue the journey for half a century to the finding of the red-ribboned letters and the surprising conclusion in 2003.
