LETTER FROM KOREA
Dear Friends:
I will write you a line to let
you know that I am still in Korfea.
Our company commander told us
today that we would be in Korea
for at least 60 more days. He
thinks we will return to Japan.
I know everybody back there at
home is happy for us over here,
for you know we are happy over
the truce. I wish you could have
seen the boys here when they told
them to cease fire.
I can t help but laugh, for I
told all the boys around there
that it wouldn’t last three months
after I got over here for I never
held a job over three months at
a time.
We are going to have a party
tonight. It is in a tent but we
are happy to have it. I hope all of
you will have the best of luck.
The Kid from Tryon.
