The following letter from their Eon who is stationed in Lincoln,
Neb.:
Dear Dad and Mother, Again another faithful day has rolled around in which we would all like to be together. But ns you all know we are at war with two very dangerous countries which keeps the most of we boys away from the ones we love Most of alL There's just something about this day that seems to touch every one’s heart, so I tnink on this day every family should have a social gathering some time during the day and thank God for what he’s done for them, instead of turning him
away.
That’s one thing that’s wrong today with the world. Too many of us have forgotten about our Saviur. Some day we’ll probably regret it. Go to church and pray for the boys in service that we will all return home safe and be able to spend Christmas with all of you next year. Church is one of the easiest things to get away

youth are those who follow their father’s goose steps. In the Pacific area things are going good. The Japs are losing face in the Blast and everyone knows what Hitler is losing in the West. The reason the Jap war lords regret losing face is that so often their heads go with it. Speaking of Japan, I wonder how soon their navy will be able to come UP and fight. Their fleet is certainly thorough, always getting to the bottom of things. The Jap navy’s theme song has become: “Is you is or is you ain’t my navy.’’ The next timy you’ll hear from me, Ma, will be through my APO number. That stands for "apologetically pushed over.” Bye, Sylvester. (Dear readers, in closing—or as the lightning bug said when he backed into a fan, "delight-
