Nineteen years ago, baby boy
was born to me and this baby was
gwen the name Of Arvis Leroy.
This baby boy has grown to be
his mothers little man and is now
19 years of age. And although he is
somewhere in the South Pacific as
S. T. M. &c, and probably won't
have anyone to help him observe
his birthday anniversary, l take
this opportunity to let him see that
we here at home are thinking of
him very much on his 18th birth
day.
Through all his hardships and
trials he always manages to have
his letters cheerful and tells me not
to worry about him. He always says
that he is doing fine, and that after
all, we have war to win and he
knows that he will have good luck
in the near future.
1t is my earnest prayer that the
lights will soon some on again all
over the world and that my son.
as well as the sons of all the moth
ers the world over will come home
safe.
Happy Birthday to my son, Arvis
