Dear Mom,
Well I finally made it out to the field. We are on top of a mountain, and man, it is high. We can see into North Vietnam from here. The Company hasn't even made contact with the enemy since we've been on this operation. In a few days we are going on another operation over near Laos. Maybe its not spelled right but you can figure it out. It's on the other side of VietNam. You ought to get a map so you can keep up with where I'm at.
You can send me kool-aid when ever you get a chance because it sure would make a big difference. Here's my new address, it's almost the same as my old one but it will get the mail to me faster.
C Co 1st BN 3rd Marines
FPO San Francisco Calif. 96602
1st PLT
Well I have to go now because it's almost time to eat and I don't want to miss chow.
Love Your Son, CC
