I have received the home paper
the past three years and l wish

Christmas and a Prosperous New
Year. During my 81 months over
e a the paper has kept me in close
contact with the folks back home.
Most of the time it has arrived
way behind time, but it is we'll ap-
preciated. Today 1 received the
July 26 issue, so you see what 1
mean.
We were one of the first fighter
groups in the Philippine Islands and
have added Ill enemy aircraft to
our score, which brings the total
close to 500. The 500 mark will
be passed by Christmas for there ,
are plenty of enemy aircraft around s
these parts. {
I hope to see you all in the neal t
future. ,

One would think the country this j
far south would be fairly warm,
