Dear Mom and Dad,
It has been a long time since I have been home, and I have seen many things since I have Left. My class has been combined into one big company and we fight together as brothers. We are a strong family and it keeps us together most of the time. I just decided to write home quickly to calm your nerves... I am doing fine and there is no need to worry about me. Take care of yourselves, and I Will Return home soon.
-Love,
Paul Baumer
