One letter dated May 2, 1965 from Tony. At the time of the letter they were 4 days out from Okinawa and will be stationed at sea for manouever training. It's expected that on May 5 they will land 50 miles from Da Nang Air Base. "When you get this letter we will be there already and I hope still in one piece. We have no idea of how long we will be in Viet Nam. I don't really care how long we're there just so I get to see Chicago again."
