The Letters

i read a couple of letters from the army that were sent to and from where soldiers were stationed, and its strange to think that this was the way they could come in contact with their family. a soldier wrote to a relative named Margie and explained in the letter of how he had a system of reading the letters he had recieved from this person. he also talks about how he was stationed in africa. how frustrating it must be to tell news through letters. to not hear the other persons voice and having to wait for a response, god knows when! but a pen and piece of paper was the communication they lived by. for many, it seems like it was what kept them going through the whole war.
