Episode Notes
 
This is the first of the "Dear Dad" series of episodes in which Hawkeye writes a letter to his dad. He will do the same in "Dear Dad, Again" and in "Dear Dad...Three".
 
While writing the letter to his father, Hawkeye indicates that he is from Vermont. This is repeated in a later season 1 episode, 'Ceasefire'. Subsequently, his backstory is that he is from Crabapple Cove, Maine.
