to Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Turner of
Ennis.
His letter:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Turner:
How are you doing? I am back
in Okinawa now. I just got back
from a mission that I couldn’t
tell anyone about. The only
thing I could say was that is was
Vietnam. I didn’t get a chance
to see who had written me the
last two weeks before today . I
know one boy over here, that I
went to school with down at
Tarleton State College that was
in Vietnam for 8 months. When
we were in college, he never
went to church, because he said
he didn’t believe in God. Well,
he was in church when I met
him—and he told me he had
changed. The reason for that
was they were in t h e Mekong
Delta and a mortar shell stuck
in the mud 2 feet in front of
him. I have missed going to
church only two times since I
have been over here. Well, I
have to get some sleep in. I have
to work tomorrow. Tell every-
one back at church I said, "hi."
I’ll write soon. Love— Harold.
