Dear Sirs:-
wish to take this opportunity |
to thank you for sending me the
Chronicle. 1t is not only appre-
ciated by me but the rest of the
fellows in my company. as well.
The Service Slants column is my
favorite. for it keeps me posted on
the activities of the boys back home
keep up the good work. I'm tell
ing you it means every thing to a
fellow when he is away from home
as for our duties we are kept
plenty busy and put in much time.
but no one seems to mind putting
forth the effort as long as it all
helps to put Jerry on the run and
make ii possible to get back home
sooner.
