1939 – 1954
Dear Mom and Dad
So far I’m enjoying military life. We got our dress uniforms today and mine fits pretty well. I received my first assignment today. I’m in charge of that trash can behind me !
Here’s my friend, Billy. He’s from Spokane, Washington. He took the pictures of me using that camera you sent. Those are our shadows on the wall. I took this picture, not Billy.
Here’s the view from my barracks. We drill out there in all kinds of weather. I don’t think we’ll strike oil though ! Ha ! Ha !
Here are some cars.
Here’s Sgt. Kelly. He’s a boxing instructor. I took this picture during combat training. I was only in the hospital for a few hours.
