A dramatic oratorio by Sarah Meneely-Kyder with lyrics by Nancy Fitz-Hugh Meneely that tells the story of one soldier, his family and his battles waged beyond a war. Every generation has been touched by war. The World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan—we all know someone whose life has been changed by war. This soldier’s story holds truth for anyone who has gone to war, or loved someone who has.
