Edward J. Thomas - World War II

Dear Ed, May (21 approx.)

It’s been raining but the fruit trees are blossoming. There also are some pretty birds; they probably got scared away from that new housing project behind the railroad tracks.

My partner and I bowled 405 totaling 810 and taking third place. Mom, harry and I went to the show and saw “Once on a Honeymoon” and “One of Our Aircraft is Missing” not the best in movies. I got your banner. Mom was thrilled about the phone call on Mother’s Day. Gertie came over for Mother’s Day. We bowled teaching mom how to keep score.

Love Izzy & Mac

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.
