an opportunity to go to West Point,

All the Nogales Lads in the
Big Invasion,

Somewhere in France
Dear Pals:
God bless you and be with you
and bring you all back home safe!
That's what everyone here rever-
emily prayed and are praying since
the big hop Tuesday. And that also
goes for all you other lads and
1assies in all the other parts of the
globe. Our prayers are for you,
too A fox1iole in Guadalcanal or
New Guinea or Italy is just as tough
as one in this big job. It's just that
this big invasion was on such
tremendous scale that it really
awakened most people as to what
you guys are doing.
1 suppose you would like to get
an idea Of how the home folks took
the news of the invasion. The first
news most of us got Of it was over
the radio early Tuesday morning,
depending upon how early we turn
ed on the radio. Then when we
met downtown everyone was deadly
in earnest and serious.
But later. as the news kept COM
ing over the radio and all of it
seemed to indicate that the inva-
sion was being carried on even more
successfully than had been antici-
pated. everyone seemed to loosen up
a bit. and here and there someone
would try to crack a joke to lift the
tension.
