Dear Lorraine,

Hi! Honey, how are you? Things are the same here and we are still at Lane moving troops all over the place. It has to be tough for the grunts because we keep moving them from one place to another. They are doing sweeps through the areas and then we move them to another location. I’d rather be back in the mountains around Pleiku, this is getting BORING. It’s easier flying here but we are more exposed during takeoff and landing. Just too much open country.

I think I have finally adjusted to being away from home but not to being away from you. You can’t imagine how great it would be to go to Phil’s for a Pizza and a pitcher of Mic. or the Wheaton Hot Shoppe for a Mighty MO. It’s strange how the little things we enjoyed mean so much now. In about 260 days I can get out of this place and start catching up on all the things I miss. You are first on my list of things to catch up on.

CLASSIFIED!!!

Keep up the good work at school. I Love You Very Much.
