Saving...
Well honey, I just as well tell you the tragic news. Lord knows I hate o tell you cuz I know you won't like it. Honey, it seems that I won't be home for about a year yet. A big announcement came out today telling what guys with certain number of points were going to do. It seems that I'll be going back to Germany one of these days. That seems to answer our questions darling. I was nearly sick when I heard it. Perhaps you will hear or read about it there. I have 43 points and 56 and under are going back to Germany. They sent all the low point guys home to go to the Pacific but then the war ended and they were left in the States. Thats the reason we are going to have to stay.
