Hello Dad and All;
They have been drilling the heck out of us and for the last two weeks I have stood it so far, so I guess I can take the rest of it.
I like it better than I did at first. I realize that it’s a job to be done. I am going to do my best. I have had 20 years of my fun in a free country; I want my brother to have his in a free country too. I am going to do my part. I will fight till the finish.
Dad, I have had some pictures made. I will send you one so you can see how I look in a uniform. They look just like me.
Well, as news is short, I will close for this time. Tell all hello and to write soon.
I enjoy hearing from everyone. All be good and may God bless you. Love to all.
Pvt. Lloyd H. Gammon.
