Received a very nice card from Sgt Joe Miller, Co D and his wife Barbara, at Christmas time. Joe enclosed a copy of a letter he had sent to his parents from the Anzio beachhead on May 4, 1944, just three weeks before the break-out to Rome.
It's a fantastic letter and I am so grateful to have it in my possession.
I placed a copy of it on the 36th's History page and you can view the letter here (complete with poem):
Enjoy!
Many thanks Joe and Barbara. How nice of you to do so.
