Answer: Hello Janette my beautiful wife,

It has been so long and I can't wait to see you. I have been all over this continent. Started in Normandy with the 101st airborne then to into the French country side in the Battle of the Bulge. That was a Hell of a fight. My squad had grenades and everything thrown at us. We lost our medic Johnny. He was a good man and a heart felt soldier. You know, we used to call him scissors because that was for whatever reason the first thing he would pull out to stitch someone up. Oh and I almost forgot Operation Market Garden. We fought with some Britts. They seemed pretty friendly until we got on the battlefield geese were they something. Right now we are all cooped up in a small church wondering what to do next. Orders haven't come through yet but we'll find out tonight. I can't wait to be home with you Janette. When I get home we can finally open up that bottle of Chardonnay.

From Europe,

Issac
