Al, I'm sending this to you, not to remind you of something that happened in 1944 just before the march from Metz to the Bulge; but to let you know again how grateful I am for the lasting effect of your service under Patton. You cannot have forgotten the account given here:

Al's response:
"I'm Sending this to all on my mailing list and to the secretary of the YDVA and I'm sure it will be published in the Yankee Doings Magazine. Thanks, I remember the prayer card but I don't remember what happened to mine. Merry Christmas!"
