Soldiers' Practice of Writing Death Letters

Soldiers often write letters to their loved ones as a farewell in case they don't come back from deployments. These letters express deep emotions and messages to family members they may never see again. These letters serve as a way for soldiers to convey their love, regrets, and hopes for their families, even in their absence. The act of writing these heartfelt letters reflects the uncertainties and sacrifices faced by soldiers in dangerous deployments.
