Ah. Can you imagine getting a letter like that? So cool. Just reading it sent chills.
ReplyDeleteHey Momma Fargo;
DeleteThey called it the "Great Crusade", the campaign to liberate Europe. We got something similar from General Schwartzkopf before we crossed the berm. I will look for the letter and post it.
A few folks do still have copies. I've seen ONE in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteHey Old NFO;
ReplyDeleteThe only copies that I have seen are in museums. You are 1 up on a lot of folks.
