Dear Sir:
am writing to thank you for
the trip you made possible for

Technical Sergeant Fred Brock,
Jr.
Words cannot express my gra-
titude for the courtesy and kind
ness shown me and my family
while guests of the Post.
The speakers who paid tribute
by participating on the program
made me feel his work was COM
pleted here on earth and he lived
not in vain.
Again I thank you and close
with the hope of visiting your
Post again in the future.
Yours respectfully,
Mrs. Fred Brock, Sr.
and Family.

tured by Soviet troops enlargine
their bridgehead on the west bank
