My Brother's War

These are my brother's letters home from the U.S. Navy during WW II, written in 1943-1946 (when he was 17-20). I decided to copy his typos and misspellings as he wrote them. Entries from his ship's log are inserted for the dates between his letters. Blogger won't let me date the posts as if they were published in the 1940's, so please subtract 30 years from the "publication date" you see above each post.
