"Welcome Home perfectly captures the essence of this country's mood during the 60s."
Vietnam Veteran, Thomas Hayes

"The play is not a polemic. It has no ax to grind. It is not pro- or anti-war.  It is pro-people.  It is a very human story.  The first time I read it, I had a hard time getting through it without crying."
Sean Devlin, President of Rolling Thunder Inc. Ohio Chapter 4
