Ben, Dec. 29, 1945
There was no picture in the letter,
but I found this picture of one.
From what I've read, these boats were used to go out and pick up
pilots that had been shot down and had crashed in the ocean.
Hence the name 'Crash' boats.
Ben, Dec. 31, 1945
You can tell by the tone of this letter that he was tired and frustrated,
and more than ready to get on that ship and come home.
I think back to the first letters I entered here and how both of them
spoke as boys, but matured into young men somewhere along the way.
This is Ben's last letter he wrote before returning home to Tennessee.
