One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated February 23, 1945. He attended his picnic on the 22nd and is now on liberty so he’s having a mini vacation. He is glad they liked the Valentine V-Mail he sent. (GLC09611.388.02 ) He received a Valentine’s Day card from Dottie Shearer. He remarks that he is worried about Mike Riccuit and Bretz. He is reading the news about Iwo Jima and it is hard to think of two men he saw recently being there. He heard a man he was in service school with was on base briefly. He received a rating at graduation and was on a ship during a battle in the Philippines. He mentions that Kenneth Brady and Charles Spangler were both stationed in Norfolk. Spangler for a year and Brady for six months.
