Personal Letters were sent home by many of you during your tour(s) describing people, places, and events of interest that occurred to you or those around you. Some of the events or incidents may be found in official archives, others may not but are still very important in recording the history of your unit.

They are also important because they were a first hand account of the official incidents and events, that were not filtered by military journalist, historians, or brass during the trip up the chain of command before making it into an official report. They may also contain personal reflections of historical events taking place, and details of non official events such as, birthday, promotional, holiday parties, etc.

Your letters are also important in identifying or narrowing down the dates of events and incidents that would greatly assist the History Project in searching for any official archival reports.

Your may also find some interesting items you dropped in the envelope to send home with the letter.

Please take some time in reviewing your personal letters to assist us. If you discover any information of interest please call me (collect), or email the information via the above preset Email Link.
