Sarah Thao Consider them white. Did you read in the March issue of Reader's Digest "So you're going to North Africa". The most of it is about as big a bunch of baloney as they could publish or else they didn't refer to the Arabs that we come in contact with. Time is flying by. We used to think that a year in the army was a long time. Now I'm going on my 3rd one. This affair is really changing the course of a lot of people's lives. I wonder where I'd have been now if it hadn't of come along. I'll bet it wouldn't have been North Africa. If I was back in the States, I probably would be like a stranger in a new country. All of my old friends have about vanished. Guess there's just about the folks and you left now. So it looks as if when I get back I can sort of start life over again new. I think the first thing I do is get a job.
