Annandale Community,
I am excited to invite you to a special screening of Letters from the Battlefield, a powerful documentary created by three Annandale graduates: Jacqueline Lundquist, Jude Pago, and Andre Jones, all from the Class of 1982.
This film explores Jacqueline’s father’s experience in the Vietnam War through his letters and audio tapes. Decades after his passing, she retraced his footsteps and, in an unexpected turn, connected with a former North Vietnamese soldier—revealing two parallel yet deeply human stories.
Letters from the Battlefield is more than just a reflection on history. It is a testament to the power of understanding different perspectives and finding connection across cultures, something that defines who we are as an Annandale community.
On Tuesday, April 8, we invite you to join us at 6:00pm for a community screening at Annandale High School. Before the screening, the PTSA will host a social gathering at 5:15pm, providing an opportunity to connect before the film. Following the event, there will be a brief PTSA meeting for those who would like to stay and participate.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience a powerful story of war, family, and reconciliation—one that comes from our community and speaks to the spirit of Atom Nation. I hope you’ll join us!
Shawn DeRose, Principal
