Edward J. Thomas - World War II

From Izzy & Mac: To Pvt. E.J. Thomas Fri. Apr. 30, 43 Eve

Everyone liked your young 33 picture. Could you send me a banner like the one you sent mom. Mac is working nights. He had the car painted black, looks new, cost $70. Izzy's bond drive is a success and she has sold about $2000.

There is a dance tomorrow and Izzy is trying got get Harry to go with Mac. Harry's car is gone so he may be at show. Genie (cousin Gene Zimmerman who now lives in Arizona) is spending his Easter with mom. Mom is enjoying this. Izzy tells Eddie not to worry about not writing her, as she reads his letters to mom.

Thanks WBRW TV ~ Washington, Michigan for interviewing me August 14, 2019. As mentioned in my video there are resources you can download, including this army pamphlet of games that soldiers could play.

Thanks WTXL Channel 27 ~ ABC Tallahassee, Florida for including my dad's cousin's Leonard Tomaszewski's D-Day account. If you want to hear more and read his story, start here: D-Day.

This website started as a living story of my uncle's service in World War II. I found some 200 plus letters in my late uncle's office he used to run his business after the war, and during his retirement. It was in 2008 that I asked my father (deceased last November 2011) if I could have the letters and look at. In the last eleven years I have painstakingly read, organized and put up this website, that I am proud of.
