Hey, sounds really interesting. My dad was overseas in WW2 so maybe I should see what I can find about him. I know I have some pictures, but not many stories, if any.

Can't wait to hear the letters.

What a wonderful treasure to have! :-) Great idea for a series! A glimpse into the past through the eyes and written words of your father! I'm on to your next video...:-)

Videos like this is why YouTube is a phenomenal place to be. I was 6 years old when you Dad started his letters.

In 1943 I was living in a coal mining camp up in the Cumberland Mountains.

Wow Jim.. How special to have those letters from your dad. You must really cherish them.

I know my dad wrote stories from when he was growing up . Some are so hilarious. He will be 82 soon!

I so look foward to hearing those letters.

I can't wait to see your videos, that'll be interesting, at least I think so....My dad's oldest brother is the same age as your dad, and was in the Army at the time. He never talks of his experiences even when we ask him, so we just leave it. Oh Well!! Your dad was a handsome fella, and you look like him !

Ooo...Jim, this is wonderful that you are going to do this. I'm TOTALLY into it for so many reasons...one of which is that I'm still a very avid letter writer. Fantastic!!! Really looking forward to this series.

Hi Jim, REALLY looking forward to this. I'm not sure if my Dad wrote to my Mom or not. All of their stuff was stolen from the attic of their old home. Broke my heart and Mom's. I can't wait to hear of your Dad's service to his country. Mine didn't see Europe, he was on a ship in the British West Indies. Thank you for doing this. Please send Love to your Mom from Texas. She has fans here! =)

Jim I am so excited about these videos. I was born in 1949 and everything that went on during the 40's interests me. The war from a personal perspective is wonderful..

It was certainly a different world in the 40's, and it's a delight to be able to experience it through the eyes of your Dad. It's a privilege to be able to be a part of his journey through letters. Thank you very much.
