Excerpt from a V-Mail Letter written by my uncle as World War II comes to an end:
“Boy, hasn’t the news really been swell the past few days? Looks as if I may be home a lot sooner than I’d dared dream. Gosh, I sure hope everything comes out okay and we can all start looking forward to going home. We are supposed to get two days off on pass as soon as V.J. Day (Victory over Japan) is declared officially and you can bet anything that I’ll be out there in some city doing my share of the celebrating. The boys are all very glad that the end of this mess is finally in sight.
August 13, 1945

What a great letter! I have one that my Grandmother’s sister wrote to their brother Arthur who was “over there” on VE Day.
Hope you had a blessed day!
God Bless America!
Thanks so much for linking to my post about Sean. My Dad (who is a minister) is flying to Walter Reed today to give the family more support. Continue to pray!
