5 Jul 68
Hi Family,
Well Aunt Rose & Uncle Leo guess you know by now that I was wounded. Well I’m doing OK…I received wounds in both my legs, in my side, in my back, and in my butt, the right cheek. I’m going to have some pretty nice looking scars…All together I think I have 13 wounds. Sounds like a lot doesn’t it, but I’m gonna be OK so don’t worry…. Just think in two weeks I’ll be home. Wow can’t wait to see you. I miss you both very much. See you soon.
Joey
P.S.: Uncle Leo Baby I hope you’re ready to go out and get drunk.
