Dear Mom,
I feel different now after seeing some horrible things and I’ll never forget them. To kill somebody, turn your head and walk away isn’t hard, it’s watching him die that’s hard, and even harder when it’s one of your own men….

Hi Sweet Thing,
Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life. Hearing about the baby. It is one of the best things a man over here can be told. I wish you could have seen the way me and my friends were acting after we heard about it. We were shotting our rifles and making all kinds of noises….
All my love,
Bernie
