from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

This episode focuses on the correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in the 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, 7th Armored Division, located in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan. Organization of the area had to be continued and the Battery Commanders were called to discuss the rising rate of venereal disease in the battalion.   Well yesterday I was ordered mind you ordered, to fix a special dinner next Friday night for Col Martin & Div Artillery Exec Major Weber and himself.  And mind you to be served on a sun porch, not at the kitchen or officer mess.  He wants steaks, fresh peas, french fried potatoes and two deserts.  Honey that is the lowest form of Ass kiss I ever seen, Pardon me. Then last night I just laid about and thought over many of things, but as usual I never get any place thinking.
