S09E02 Letters

At the 4077th, the staff reflect on their experiences of war after receiving letters from fourth graders in Hawkeye's hometown. Margaret shares poignant memories of unforgettable patients, while Colonel Potter reminisces about his past as 'Hoops.' Hawkeye writes to young Ronnie, expressing, "It's tough to let your love for your brother morph into hatred for others. Hatred breeds war, and war is what took Keith from us. I relate to your feelings. There are moments I despise being here. But occasionally, amid the chaos, a small spark of goodness makes it all feel worthwhile. So my advice is to seek out that goodness wherever you can."
