Mount Joy, Pennsylvania )
Dear Sir:—I want to thank you!
and the good people of Mount Joy
for the splendid services you have
rendered me and all the other boys
from our town who are now “shoot-
ing the works” for Uncle Sam. The
Christmas gifts I received from the
people of the community were ap-
preciated very much and your gen-
erosity in sending the Bulletin is
very heart-warming. These things,
with the cards and letters some of
the citizens send me once in a
while make me very happy, because
it assures me that my friends and
associates have not forgotten me,
but are backing me and my com-
rades to the hilt. These things may
seem small to the people back
there, but they are very large and
important to us.
The Bulletin has been 2 bright
spot in my life during my Naval
