I would say so! More about him and his history in Monday’s post. Ralph Woods wrote them some after the war, corresponded with me when I was trying to learn what happened, and I’m still in contact with one of his (five) daughters. Next Friday, I’m featuring Harry Wold, who was Danny Wilson’s best friend when they were stationed in Italy, and even before.
What an outstanding letter. How grateful the Wilsons must have been to know that Junior had been surrounded by such men.

Incredible… this letter is so sweet. You have such treasures!
Thanks to Grandma Leora keeping everything.
That was so sweet and priceless that you still have it 🙂
What an eloquent letter, so heartfelt and direct. It gives new meaning to “stand-up guy.” Junior’s buddies were stand-up guys for sure.
What a beautiful letter! What a keepsake treasure to have a letter such as this.
Looking forward to the rest of the story. My mind is coming up with all sorts of possible tragedies.
