What's the play about you ask?

Well, it's about a lot of things, but this sums it up pretty well:

When a well-known newspaper asks Strig Finch, an Iraq war veteran, to be interviewed for a Veteran's Day Special, he is forced to confront a horrible incident that happened over one day in the war.

To find out what that secret is and how it ends up affecting Strig's life, you have to come see the play. Any ideas? Please share!

I got a remarkable letter last week from a soldier in Iraq named Shaun Feingold. I found his words so inspiring, I asked him if I could post them, and he agreed.
