I'll tell you one thing It is a dam good thing I wasent home when they run into Billy with that car. for I have been in the army long enough to learn how to bawl a man out to a (queen?) taste and believe me. they would have heard the finest collection of cuss words they ever heard. Oh gee If I stay here a year longer it will take six months before I'll be able to get rid of army language when I get mad but Old Charlie Warden says they first took the liquor away from us than put us in the army made fighting devils of us and now are try to make church members of us I laugh at him
