Hi,

The following has come to my attention.

It's a letter written by a Navy ensign to parents back home from the USS
Winston S. Churchill a few days after the attack on the Pentagon and World
Trade Center.

I know a number of Paddlewisers are in the armed forces/reserves/national
guard or have sons and daughters readying themselves to go in harm's way.
So, I think it will be of interest to a number of us.
