Major General Alexander R. Bolling Commanding General Fort Lewis, Washington 98433
Dear General Bolling :
With the completion of the search of the area near Ariel, Washington, by units of the 3rd Air Cavalry, I wanted to write to you personally and tell you first how much we appreciate the services rendered. However, in doing this I would be most remiss if we did not also tell you that the services of your officers and men were magnificent. The organizational structure, the equipment provided, and most important of all the direction given to the operation under [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was most impressive.
The assistance rendered by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] was in keeping with the highest traditions of the U. S. Army.
I could go on at greater length and identify specifically the individual officers, as well as the non- commissioned officers and men, but time and space do not permit.
I do hope, however, that through your channels you will see fit to insure that this letter of appreciation and commendation is recorded in appropriate files to provide credit to the splendid men who have served so well.
Sincerely yours,
[signature] J. E. MILNES Special Agent in Charge
