Coddaire mentions that a bunch of men got silver stars and hearts, but the majority of the day he "stooged around." He says he got a new roasary from the chaplian as his was falling apart, and asked Olive to send him some V-Mail ink, and a can of lighter fluid. He also request plum pudding, and complains about the company's cooks as the company next door had cake and pie all week. After bugging the cooks they made a cake and it was "dry, lifeless, no frosting and black on the bottom."
