THANK A VETERAN

I had been assigned to a fire
fighting division and writing to
my sweetheart but short on stationery
so used the pages to write to
my intended. She kept all of
my letters. The first name of
the sketching artist was [REDACTED] and
the middle name was initial [REDACTED]
and the last was [REDACTED]. He
was a younger man to young
to enter the service but asked
many questions about flying and
use of parachutes, altitude and
bailing out of planes. Many young
men were fighting fires caused
by Japanese balloon bombs and [guess: incendiary]
[guess: to cause] fires.
If this is the hijacker he would
have lost his low cut shoes and
broken ankles on landing if he
survived which I doubt.
Sincerely [guess: yours]
[REDACTED]
