Written fifty years ago Osan Airbase Korea
Thirty miles from the DMZ:
Dear Grandma,
I guess it is quiet I should write
I sent home dishes to Uncle Ray and Auntie Maxine
It is quiet here in the hospital
Actually it is raining Cats and Dogs
When it rains everything in a Quonset hut leaks
Typhoon kills 321 380,000 homeless
In Tokyo US bases hit hard
Here in Korea only terrible rain washouts
There was a terrible plane wreck last night
A Navy pilot crashed landing on base
He was on the wing when the plane blew up
Last night I had nightmares I hope they go away
I sure miss home only 106 days left until this tour ends
But of course I'm not counting, please write---how is Grandpa doing?
