My R&R is approved!! I’ll be arriving in Hawaii about noon on 1 August. I don’t have the orders yet, but I’ll be getting them in a few days. I’ll send off the hotel reservation request tomorrow.
All signs indicate that I will return to Hawaii sometime in late September where I’ll finish my 12 months.
I’ve already drawn $1,000 for R&R. I still have $75.00 on the books, and that’s through the 15th of this month. So I can probably save $600 by the time I leave Vietnam.
Today was another typical day. I flew one mission today and we bombed some enemy bunkers. I guess about 80% of our targets are bunkers. You’d think that sooner or later we would destroy all those bunkers.

I'm impressed that you wrote letters, and that someone saved them. Thank you for sharing these with us. People forget. Others just never understand.
