[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 722116, member: 1963"] Save those letters. Of all the things I lost when we took on 5' of water in the basement in '95, it was my husband's letters from his time in the Army that broke my heart the worst. Nowadays, if she makes it through training, at some point she'll have access to e-mail, etc. In our day, it was phone from bases stateside if not on field exercises, and if deployed, on very rare occasions, we might be able to talk for a few minutes over a MARS radio to telephone connection. So letters were treasured, and mail-call was the high point of every serviceperson's day. [/QUOTE]
