George Lien Is In
Australia Dec 1943
George Lien, who left here a
couple of years ago and joined the Navy, writes a
nice letter from some place in Australia. George
thinks it would be fun to roll around in the snow,
but if he knew it was 17 below zero this morning
he might change his mind and wait until next
spring. His letter is dated December 4th and is as
follows:
Dear Hoog:
Just a line to let you know
that I am receiving the Advocate Leader. You don't
know how much a hometown paper can mean to a
fellow out here. I have been overseas over ten
months and have seen a little action in which my
previous ship was sunk. But omit the war.
I sure wish that I could get
home for a few days. Boy I believe I would just
get down and roll in the snow just to cool off a
bit. It has been so hot here at times and then it
pours down rain. Such weather we have here I just
cannot figure it out.
From what I read in the paper,
you folks at home are doing a swell job back there
and if you people can give us a few things we
need, we'll do the rest. With your help we will
get this thing over with as quick as time will
allow us.
Good luck to you all.
