I am not with them anymore was in the hospital for a while know am going to a clerk supply school in England. and believe me it is better here then that place on the Rhine. Of course I would rather be home with my family and that day cant come to soon. After being married 17 years and kids 11 & 15 you know were I would rather be. Well Dave so much for my bitching.
Do you ever hear from Dunham Morrision or Wayne Weaver. Of course there are a lot of soldiers over here but you never see any from home. this school is for ex combat men and it is first place I have seen any from Iowa at all.
My wife sends me clippings from the journal once in a while and am always glad to read of the folks at home and thanks for sending me the Scuttlebutt but be careful of Milo he may put a booby trap on that chicken house door.
Your friend 
Sam.
