This letter is Post Marked October 12, 1943. Sounds like a group went on a little adventure trip and Dad got to swim in the ocean. For a Hoosier Boy, that must have been quite a big deal. He also mentions that he is busy marking his clothes. I guess loosing pieces of clothing with so many guys in the Camp is understandable.
This is a story about my Dad, Bruce Dodson. He never would talk much about his time during World War II. Now that he and my Mom have passed, and being their only child, I have had the opportunity to go through all of their mementos. In doing so, I discovered a pile of letters that Dad wrote to his sister during his time in the service. Those letters, coupled with a search of WWII history are the focus of this blog.
