Letters From Home was founded in 2010, featuring music from the soundtracks of World War II, Vietnam and be- yond. This vaudevillian-style singing and tap-dancing duo has honored veterans, and ac- tive military heroes and their families by uniting the nation through music.
“The show is high-energy and should make everyone smile,” states Dearth, “but it’s also a message of hope for a country that is a bit divided at the moment.”
The show’s idea came from Pat Dearth, a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Since its inception, Letters From Home has performed more than 900 shows across the country. A documentary on the group produced by Our State Television’s David Hardy won an Emmy Award in 2015.
Dan Beckmann, the other half of the pair, is also an ac- complished professional pho- tographer. He will document the tour in a photo blog and direct a documentary of the 50 states tour.
Footsteps Researchers founder Myra Miller will serve as tour manager. She states that she is very excited to meet vet- erans across the country and thank them for their service.

Dearth and Beckmann per- formed in Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. They sang the national anthem at sunset on June 6, 2019, on Omaha Beach.
“We want to pack the ven- ues with young and old alike to share the fun of the energetic performances of Letters From Home,” Miller states.
Dearth hopes that those who come to see the show will walk away with a song in their hearts and a new perspective on patriotism.
Meanwhile, one of the tour’s sponsors is Footsteps Researchers, a global team of military researchers who help their clients retrace the foot- steps of those who served in WWII.
