Written in WWII by my grandfather...I wish to re-dedicate this to all the men and women of our armed services....Updawg (12 years air force)




Listen, Scott, I'm going fast
And I have this for you...
I'm hit. I'm loosing blood
Its in the chest and shoulder.
There is a sniper in this town
I think behind that boulder
Over there...Keep down.


But listen, buddy, I can't last

Much longer; I'm dying
Hold on now don't you start crying.


Buddy
one
request
take

this
snapshot.
Its my wife and little daughter
Its
all
I got
To give to you

When you get through
This stupid war
Go to my town
And find them
They live down
by the river road
in a little house.
Its neat and trim.
You will see an old green gate;
I made it from a old crate---before the war.

Buddy, please find her, be kind to her
I want her to know
I love her so

Much.

Tell her I tried
To do what was right.
Tell her I died In the first fight
And did not ever see
the enemy
You see
I did not kill.


And tell her I still
tried
to
do
right.

To



To



To



the



end.



Buddy, you've been a true friend

Tell



her



that I...

this is great...
