France July 2nd '44
Downpour of rain -- bombers -- fighters -- mud -- shattered dwellings -- dead livestock -- uprooted trees -- etc.
France 14 Oct. '44

France Nov. 22 '44
It is still inconceivable to me that you have chosen to share you life with me...a love which has given me new life, a new goal and a new approach to heaven.
