Thomas at Training

Postcard from Thomas. Iwo Jima statue on the front, Arlington National Cemetery. Return address: Virginia.

"Dear Fred —

Life is Hell. Got your letter & had a grin on my face for a few min. though. — I wonder if Chenowith would sell us one of those Fast Attack vehicles. I don’t know if I’m going to make it through here — so far so good on all ‘graded, weighted events’ BUT I’ve been having a real hard time staying out of trouble with the sergeants. This is not a good thing. Will try to call late[r].

Bye"

He’d written so far down the card that the last line got cut off at the edge.
