	I Love You         England Thurs         7 Dec 44 Hello Darling: December 7th - 3 years since war - and 4 years for us - a lot to think about - and there surely was a lot that has taken place in those 4 years - surprises, happiness, disappointment and most everything that could happen!  This past two months for me were something that I would like to sensor from my memories - and I suppose you've had some anxious moments to0 - such a life!  But gee, Honey do I ever Love you & miss you!     Enclosed is a clipping from the Stars and Stripes!  Really have been doing some good for a 4F outfit! Let's see - Metz hadn't been
	taken for 1500 years - and we did it. I never did get in the city myself - cause I had argument with a Jerry mortar 3 miles out on the assault of one of the big forts surrounding it - and it was the 3rd fort to fall - it was camouflaged to represent a farm - haystacks were pillboxes and innocent looking shacks turned out to be concrete emplacements - the big guns would come to the surface by elevator & fire & then disappear - all their supply routs were underground. It was interesting but rough - and the Moselle River was cold
	but it's with a blaze of glory that the guys went thru Metz and on to Saarlautern -     Am fine Darling - even crawl around a little on crutches now - surely hope you're feeling fine Honey!     Say hello to all for me Hon! God Bless you & Do take care of yourself!         I Love you Hon!          Love & Kisses           Johnnie

	I Love You Hon!!         On The Snow         Capped Western         Front Mon: 13 Nov 44 My Beloved Wife!     Although I can hardly write from the cold, I'll try - and hope that you'll be able to read the scratching- it snowed yesterday aft. and most of last night - and this morning the round is covered with a white blanket - so I'm dreaming of a white Xmas - brrrrrr!!  I love you Hon!     Enclosed is a Money order of 25 bucks - do with it what you want - it will will probably come in handy for Xmas gifts etc. - at any rate I can't use it here so home it goes!  I love you!     Have a little news for you that may help you sort of follow my
	moves- I'm in Lt. Gen. George Patton's 3rd army - of late it has been making headlines in most of the news papers - follow it - and keep a scrap book of newspaper clippings - It'll prove interesting later on - to me right now it's a little too interesting - but such is life in the Army!     Well Darling take care of yourself - am always thinking of you - God Bless you!         I Love you Darling           Love & Kisses             Your               Hubby              Johnnie
