Phillipine Islands Oct. 21, 1944 Dear Folks: Well, I guess you aiv surprised to hear where I am at now. I am OK and making it alright. In other words we are really doing good. There are big towns here and the people are sure glad to see us. There is supposed to be a concentration camp here, but we haven’t got to it yet, I don't know if there are any American prisoners there are not. Probably the next letter I’ll be able to tell you more. The country is somewhat open from here and there. I was in the first bunch to hit the beach. I have been lucky so fai and I pray that it will continu'e. Well how is everything at home, 1 sure hope everything is OK. What does the paper say about everything? Will close, hoping to hear from you soon. Love, Junior.

They say a Jap fights hardest when he's cornered. We’ve got Japan cornered ... hut the fight is still hard, still rosily. Every bond you buy in the Sixth War Loan Drive is your way of saluting the brave men fighting a tough, brutal enemy in the South Pacific. And it costs billions every month to keep the never-ending stream of

B-29 Superfortresses, amphibious tanks,bulldozers, high octane gasoline and oil flowing to the Pacific war front. So long as a single Jap faces our men on the field of battle, our duty at home is clear: we m*ist keep on buying War Bonds. You must invest in at least one extra hundred dollar bond in the "get Japan” Drive—the Sixth!
