On his last days, he asked that I archive them. Mom was a war bride from Australia and Dad in the Pacific theater. He saved these letters through the war. Unfortunately when my mother came to America, she could only carry one suitcase and her letters are not here. They are real life historical documents.

Along with those are letters from other WWII mothers - many of them desperately seeking news of their sons at a time when communication sometimes took months. I never thought of posting them online, but I have organized them in three leather-bound albums to pass on within our family. I hope to follow your posts, and perhaps someday follow your lead.

Wonderful!! you *have* to copy these to the site www.storyofmylife.com (they just finished up a series of WWI letters -amazing). Talk to the folks there. The're super nice. They'll even copy them over after they're posted here (and you can have a lag time so the initial post is here). You must think about the future of this. What happens to WordPress or when the blog goes inactive in the future? You simply MUST preserve them forever. This is very important. I love what you're doing. Also think about the future. Our kids today are the 1st generation that will grow up entirely with the internet. They will research us for our future ancestors. I hope you will reach out to them. They will take very good care of you. ML Oh! Wonderful!! you *have* to copy these to the site http://www.storyofmylife.com (they just finished up a series of WWI letters -amazing).

I am in the process of putting them in order. I want to put together a book for all the family members so they can have a great memories of their love. I too have my dad’s love letters to my mom.

I am senior. In our english project, the teacher assigned the topic "letters from home to servicemen during WWII (vice versa)" to me. I did some research and I found your website...I enjoyed it and truly liked it. It will be a very good help for my project too. I wish you can send me one of the letters so I can present it to school. Thanx... PS. I am an exchange student from Philippines, sorry if some of my grammars are wrong. God Bless.
