POTD: Letters Home
Letters from my father, who was in the Navy during WWII, sent home to his mother in 1943. These particular letters, postmarked New York and New Jersey, were likely sent just prior to his deployment to Brazil where he served as a radio/radar technician on blimps that flew out over the Atlantic looking for German submarines. I believe I read the subs would cross over from somewhere in Africa to Brazil because that was the shortest distance across the Atlantic.

Ahhhh… I know that man! When people wrote real letters. Nice collection. Nice photo!
I like this for both the artistic and genealogical value 🙂
Enjoyed seeing the picture!
