description: The year is 1969 Gary Fairchild is proud to be a hippie college student and he protests the Vietnam War because he believes in love and peace. To him it isnt just a counterculture movementits a way of life. When tickets to the Aquarium Exposition3 Days of Peace &amp; Music or Woodstock as it was better known go on sale theres no way he isnt going. Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. Hes hidden his darkest secret to earn his fathers love but nothing is ever good enoughnot even volunteering for the Vietnam War. And with just a few days left before hes deployed a striking hippie invites him to join them at a music festival. Three days of music drugs rain mud and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest of their lives. They share dreams and fears and when Richard is shipped off to war they share letters and love. For Richards first Christmas home he is gifted a special angel ornament that just might make a soldiers wish come true.
