My little notes: After his last discouraging letter, it is nice to hear him sound more positive and have more confidence again. He writes words like "wonderful letter", "beautiful" and "never felt better". I feel this has a lot to do with the letter he received from his Dad. He needed that reassurance from his Dad that only a parent can do. I only wish I could have read that "wonderful letter" or any letters from the family. However, I am fortunate to have these letters from my Uncle and learn firsthand his experience during training. Again, I look forward to the next!
Must see videos!
WWII camouflage techniques training film - cartoon
If you have a little time to spare I recommend watching these entertaining 1944 cartoon camouflage training videos. There are three parts. The first and second parts are 9 minutes each and the last part is only 3 minutes. If anything, at least watch the first one! They are from the Army Air Forces (recognize the insignia?) and from 1944, so I am thinking there is a pretty good chance my Uncle may have seen these! They are very basic and probably more of an introduction to camouflage training. Remember, "Hide the Shadow"! Enjoy....

Yay for the happy letter! :D Yes it is nice to see his spirits lifted. I wonder what he's talking about at the end though with "I'm getting tired of the stunts they pull on you". I like that he wants pictures of all the pets, too :)
ReplyDeleteI think he is referring to the pets. His parents must be telling him stories about their pets. They had like 2 dogs, few cats, birds and who knows what else!
