Lizzie: What a wonderful thread you started! Perhaps others will share also. I would if I had similar letters to share. The thing that strikes me most about your Uncle Gray's letter is the note of optimism he voices in the letter, though in 1943, as I recall, there were lots of black days ahead. I was only 13 at the time, but we all stayed abreast of news of the war.

Thank you so much for sharing.
