To Anyone And Everyone Inerested

I would like to send out an apology to my mom, my dad, all my brothers and sisters, my platoon and most of all, Helen DeLattre. I'm so sorry I disappointed you, it wasn't my intention. I can only imagine how hard it is to read this because its equally as hard to write it....... I can't seem to stop crying, it's so painful....... At least I'll be coming home, right?..... On the day of June 29, 1944 I was awarded the Silver Star for "gallantry" in action. It wasn't very "gallant" at all that poor boys needed help and I just happened to be there. No one was gonna help him because they were under heavy artillery fire. It was worth it in the end I hope. That day I also went MIA, from what I heard. My greatest apologies to my platoon, good luck and I'm so sorry that I left you alone................ I died on July 31, 1944 and it is still a shock to me. I was originally buried in Europe but I'm coming home........ For some reason, I was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart. I'm so sorry that I am not coming home the way you wanted me to but at least I'm coming home. Finally, to Helen DeLattre, I am so sorry that I won't be able to meet you after the war is over, I was really looking forward to that. You can still come and meet my family though. They are a happy and crazy bunch but I bet you'll like them, I sure did. Meeting them would be just like meeting me although they would beg to differ. Ha ha, thy may even show you impressing baby pictures of me and all my bad picture day moments, it'll only be a little bit different than meeting me in person. I bet all Doug is worrying about is on who he is gonna compete for the state half mile. I just want to say not to worry about me, I am in a better place. I'll miss home and all the new friends I have made and wish the allies luck. Win for me guys!!!! I love you all so much and I will miss you so very much. One day, we will meet again and we will be together forever this time. Lots of love, signing out for the very last time,
