Dearest Betty---Letters from a U.S. Marine

During the Korean “Police Action” in the 50’s, my dad wrote detailed letters to my mother, Betty. She saved them all and told me she was going to destroy them after she excerpted interesting anecdotes from them. I begged her not to throw them away and she argued that they were personal love letters to her. She passed away before she could finish her work with them and I always thought they were gone. Recently found them in a box. They are so interesting that I decided to do the job my mother hadn’t finished. There are 125 of them and I plan to enter a letter a day in the form of a BLOG or diary.
