I was looking for something and came across this V-Mail from my dad.
"Dear Mother,
I received the letter with Don's picture about a week ago and was really glad to get it but I have to carry it in my pocket so it won't look so nice.
I also received Sarah's graduation announcement.
I am now in the isl. of Saipan I have been here since the 15th of June. I am all right please don't worry.
Please send Don's address as soon as you can. Please write soon.
Lots of love,
Robert
from PFC <skyking's dad>
4th MAR DIV
C/O FPO SAN FRAN"
The people he mentions are a brother and sister.
It got me for a minute and then I realized it was a slice of life a long time ago, about people I have never met save my dad. I figured it was worth sharing, a letter from an 18 year old a long way from home.
