WW1 Letters home

[Norm Cromie (RIP)]

Kaeman:
Your reference to the sight letters home from WW1 is a framework that applies to all wars. The importance of communication by mail can never be fully understood unless you experience time away from close family or loved ones.
The mind is a very nebulous thing and we don't have to be in physical touch with a person to sense their awareness . Their last writings hold a permanent place in our memories forever. That place can be free of all their human frailities and leave us with the best of our thoughts of the times with us fixed forever.
Karman you make note that you left school at the ninth grade but your threads on MLU show you have a deep intellectual insight and emotional understanding far beyond what you may have learned with further academic education.
I thought you might be interested in a letter that I sent to my brother that was recovered from an aircrash, as you can see noted at the top of the letter. I guess this must apply to the old saying (The mail must go through.)
