Dear Whomever reads this,
My name is Johnny Smith, I am from a small town in the south, called Pharr Texas where everybody knows everybody. I was 18 yrs. old when I signed up for the army, we were all still young and dumb when we signed up but believe me we grew up quick. I am writing this letter in hopes that someone will receive it and let the love of my life Sally May know that I have passed away that she should move on with life. She no longer needs to wait every month for my letters to come in, she can finally move on to bigger and better things. I just ask you that you tell her I loved her from first sight and will continue to as long as I am watching her from above. I do hope you can do this for me because there have been so many killed over here they might forget to tell my family back home. I hope mom and pop will continue to prosper on the cattle farm. Tell my brother Sam to go on to college, do not join the service he has to much going for him.Tell them all that I love them and not to grieve over my death but to remember my life. If you can tell them this I would be much obliged, thank you
