This is a letter from my maternal uncle to my paternal aunt. He wrote it on 20 November 1967 and she received it a week later. He wrote it after he had returned to the field in Vietnam after a short break at base camp. He closed his letter by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. He was looking forward to getting home the following September, but he died in battle less than a month after this letter was written.

Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
