An Old Christmas Card
On December 19, 1945, my father was with the Sixth Division in Korea and wrote a short note to my mother back in Indiana, full of longing to be home, and hoping she received the Christmas package he had sent earlier. I found this when re-organizing some family history stuff.
With this, let me wish everyone a very happy and blessed Christmas and a light-filled Hanukkah, especially to every soldier far away from home; and thanks for their service to all the Ricochet veterans who may have sent similar funky cards to loved ones from places exotic or random.

AMEN !
thanks for the post…I did not even know that we had a whole division in Korea at the time…many best wishes to you and your family…..
Dang, I wish I could make it bigger; it looks fascinating.
AMEN! And—“Little My!” Tove Jannsson!
Little My was my role model when I was a little kid.
God Jul!

What a family treasure! TY for sharing it.
My father was USN and was in Jensen (your ‘landed here’ location) for a couple of months in 1946. We still have his family letters from that time.
