Weiden, Germany May 20, 1945 Dear Mom, We are certainly having some sad sack days. I'd like to be back in Czechoslovakia where it is warm and sunny. It's quite chilly here and cloudy with some sporadic rains including some real old fashioned thunder and lightning storms. I am now acting big mogul for Col. Booth left this morning on his trip. The general, before he left, gave me an Oak Leaf Cluster to my Bronze Star, which constitutes a second award of it. Incidentally. I got the medal itself the other day, so I will send it home as soon as I find some wrappings for it. The OLC adds five more points to my total and I understand we will be credited shortly with another battle star which will be five more, making 100. I'd like Gracie to send me a can or two of Ortho chromatic 35mm film as I want to make some photo copies of some stuff. Eventually we are to have film here at our PX but that may not be for some time and I expect in not too large a quantity. This Bergen country is quite pretty but I haven't been able to get out in it at all. Eventually I may. Love, Bob |
