We are having fun now – life is fun. Oh, did something happen on the 7th that Dad should remember? He teases her so. They were married on March 7th so yesterday was their 7 month anniversary. He's stuck with his swan song, feeling low and stuck with kitchen
I find out how to spell furlough today. Furlough. We knew he'd figure it out. Back to guard duty on the beach. What an interesting time. Yes, IDLE GOSSIP SINKS SHIPS. What if the guy on the beach was fine but the little old ladies were secret spies?
Morale is a “rubberish” word. They've been keeping him busy so he missed getting a letter out yesterday. He had to sneak out for a mission to Nahant. Good work on the gas but think good thoughts for tires. Damn this war. He might not have the highest
It made me think of a fiery sunset. Imagine getting back to camp and finding you're not only late but you no longer have that nice cushy job. And they didn't even ask you!!! At least they covered for his shift but no more taking advantage.
Mom and Dad get few days together as the month begins. Guess the big news are plans and negotiations for their own trailer. Buying your first “real nest” is exciting considering Mom’s condition. But that also means Mom will be in charge in managing the move while working and
Our lovebirds are together enjoying a 3-day pass. Please note how the Military is not hiding war casualties. They are posted so that communities can honor the bravery of the young soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice. And the scrap drive is critical for the war effort. Next letter Sunday,
Dad is busy getting organized to leave on a 3-day pass. From yesterday's letter: Well, if I don’t hear anything definite (you should get this by Tues.) from you by Tues. I’ll wait here for you Tues. night and if you don’t show up
Every Sunday is Thanksgiving Day in the Army... This will be the last letter for about a week since he's getting a pass and Mom is driving up to get him. There is a new law lowering the speed limit to 35mph so it'll take her
Responsibility is a slave maker. Big doings in Lynn with a giant rally while over at Fort Ruckman, negotiations have begun to address the frequency of letter writing. Especially since they're chucked full of news. And poor Dad, here he is wasting away but still playing football. And
It is a bitter pill to swallow. This Army life.... he will get all poetic again. Along with updates for the next pass and even the furlough. Don't tell him he's spelling it wrong - he'll figure it out. We now know the letter to
I could be so much worse off. Please say "Moitle" with the proper accent. It's either a silly name or reference to a B-17 42-39821 / Hey Moitle 570th Bomb Squadron. Or was it in a movie? I'll bet it's just
I like Polish better and I think I’d better stick to my “Jendobcha”. Darn the luck with just missing Tony. Scary incident outside camp. Even well trained soldiers can't overpower a thief with a gun. A lot of excitement over a hurricane warning. They have to take
