One letter addressed to Joyce Robinson from Richard J. DiChristina dated July 7, 1969. He writes that his troop is
"camping" with no light, hot water, or bathroom facilities. It has been raining all day and night, and they marched for two hours. He relays that it is nine miles to the camping area and that they have been sleeping in the rain. DiChristina describes waiting for a bus in the hot sun after debarking his plane on Sunday. He includes his boarding pass documenting his "home pass" between July 4 and July 6. In closing, he mentions he only has two hours of "Fire" so he will write again tomorrow. He writes that he loves and misses Joyce and asks her to write to him.
