Default P-47 pilot's Christmas wish to family back home

My older sister found this the other day, a little late for Christmas but it put me back in the spirit of things and also the emotions and life these brave men went through while most of us had a comfortable Christmas at home surrounded by our loved ones (and warbirds too). A wish of peace and a safe return to our men and women fighting for freedom today,

Hey Alan, how are you?
That is a rare artifact these days, and for it to be from your own father makes it priceless.

yeah here too. I am about tired of cold weather. This is VA, not UT! We had 15" of snow on Dec 26, that is 3 times the amount we get all year!
