 * World War II ||

June 3, 1944

Dear Betty,

I can’t believe we have been apart for more than a year. Ever since I shipped out for England things have been crazy around here. We are on the verge of something big but no one seems to know what is going to happen. We drill each day on the coast of England in these funny cars called “amphibious vehicles”. Jump in and jump out on the beach and run up a hill. Everyone is feeling the pressure and we all sense something coming that might finally bring an end to this long war that has separated us for too long! Either way, I miss you and can’t wait to come home to you. The German’s continue to control Europe. I heard that Patton has finally made it to Italy and that even the Russian are making their way to Berlin. It’s about time. They have been going at it for years now. Now it seems it is our turn. I promise you I will be brave and I expect you to be the same. No matter what happens I will be thinking of you and hoping to see you before you know it. The men and I are anxious to serve our country and give Hitler a sound beating that he deserves. June in England is pleasant. The rainy cold winters here are finally giving way to warmer temperatures. It reminds me of home. The people are friendly and understand our purpose here, though some of them would like to see us just go! I miss you and love you. I pray this conflict will end soon and we will be married and start our own family. I just can’t help but feel something big is coming to change the course of this war and…hopefully…bring me back to you sooner than later. All my love…

John
