Dear Committee
I received the very fine gift of the
Remembrance Committee.’'I want to
thank you all. Also for the year’s
subscription to the Bulletin. It is
really a grand feeling to know that
we have the full support of our
home folks.
My; work is very interesting. It
is needless to say that the boys
make ideal patients.
I think we are having the nicest
weather of th” jvear at the present
time, Jt ef seems possible that
you all have had snow, but believe
it or not, snow would look ‘good to
some of us.
So may this: Christmas and the
coming yedr bring you special’ hap-
piness.

Camp Claiborne, La.
1 wish to thank the Remembrance
Committee for the gifts I received
from them.
I know I will certainly appreciate
getting the “Bulletin.” At home I
did not need to read the paper. for
news because I usually heard all the
news, but now news from home
makes you feel pretty good.

Dear Sirs:

Seaman First Class Alexander
Hashem, son of Mr. and Mrs. A-
meen Hashem, 132 South Popular
street, Elizabethtown, just back
from his eighth crossing of the At-
lantic, will have many interesting
stories to.tell after the war is over.
On his last trip he went to England
and Sicily, and had a busy time of
it in the Mediterranean, helping to
down five German planes which
attacked the convoy. Alex was a
lookout that time; so he had a good
vantage point to see the attackers
plummet into the sea.
He participated in the invasion of
North Africa and Sicily.
Following his eighth crossing, he
spent a week’s leave with his par-
ents. and friends here.

I felt that returning this card a-
lone was hardly enough to express
my thanks and appreciation for the
gift that I just received and also for
all that the Remembrance Commit-
tee has done for us in the service.
T'm sure that goes for all of us here
in the States as well as the fellows
.overseas.
We really do appreciate the
“Bulletin”. I have received it reg-
ularly since I left home.
