Dear Debby
I often ponder over our petty misunderstandings of the past while dreaming of the future….Surely, it is not good to dwell on such things; but the heartaches we shared, and my failings as a husband, hang heavily on my heart. I can only hope and pray that you harbor few regrets over the many long years you’ve wasted waiting for me. I’ll make it all up to you someday Debby I swear. When I return , you will find me older, wiser and far more capable of being the husband you deserve. Please keep faith in me, darling.
Alan

Air Force Maj. Edward Alan Brudno, assigned to the 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron, was shot down over North Vietnam on 18 October 1965. He spent 7-1/2 years as a prisoner of war before being repatriated in 1973. Debby, his wife, notes that he had wanted to become an astronaut and was told he’d first need experience as a pilot. He joined the Air Force. On 3 June 1973, four months after his release from captivity and one day before he was to turn 33, Alan Brudno took his life.
