Ww II War Office; My Dad Wrote 180 Letters Home!

A "Blue Envelope Mail"

Thanks for posting all these. The letter from Mrs. Stevenson, especially, made my eyes misty.

In remembrance of "Pearl Harbor Day", December 7th, 1941.
That was the event that started (edit; U.S. involvement) in WW II. Here we are today, seventy-five years later.

Thank you for your interest and posts.

PekingDuckDog, Thank you for your heartfelt post.
" The letter from Mrs. Stevenson, especially, made my eyes misty."

I can barely read some of these letters without having the same issue.

What I have noticed on almost every letter that my father wrote home
to his parents, he signed off, "your loving son Bill"!

I wonder how often that type of sign off is used today?

This is an example of a full size V-mail. I do see Regular Mail
stamped over V-mail. They are usually reduced to a much smaller
size, 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 card.

The event that started World War II?????

GeoffHa, you are correct. It started the U.S. involvement in WW II.
