J rATrJSR Ol^ TrJ£ jWomh Dear Boys: I have been chosen as father of the month for this issue of the "Hoover Rail". ?Jhen lUr, Hart first told me I had been chosen as father of the month, it really did scare me for you who know me know that I am no good at writing. I told my wife that I wasn’t going to write anything, but she said, "Yes, you are," so you see vjho won that argument, *so after all you boys aren’t the only ones who have to take orders. » First, I would like to say Hello to my son, who is now stationed on foreign soil, and to say that his mother and I miss him very much and hope it won't be very long until our boys v;ill defeat the enemy and he ajid the rest of you boys v/ill bo back home with us to stay. I v;ant to tell you boys that we here at home are really proud of the way you have been pushing the encrdy around for the past fev/ months and vie knovj you will do just as well, if not better, when the time comcs to invade Hitler’s Europe. You boys now have the enemy guessing and we know you will keep them that way until they are. in final defeat and victory is yours, I also want to toll you boys that we folks here at home arc supporting you in every way we know how. One of the main ways in vhich we back you, I guess, is by buying U.S. Saving Bonds. I'think most every one who works here in Lawndale b\ij’’s all the bonds they can afford. There arc a lot of things wo have been used to hav ing that we can’t get any more, but wo don't mind for we know that by doyig with out these things will help get this war over with a lot sooner and tiiat is what we want, for the quicker it is over, the sooner we vjill see you boys again and get settled back to enjoyixig life like we did before we were forced into this war. Well, I guess I have said about all I can, as you know I told you at the start of this letter that I vjasn't very good at ivriting, but I have enjoyed saying vmat little I could to you boys and hope you ej.ijoy this isrsiio of the "Hoovor Rail.'f vYell, I'.ll aciy no jnovj, and may God bless each one of you, and good hunting. f Sincerely yours, k t Grover C. Eskridge
