At Sea on the USS Lamar. . .World War II

Lt.(jg) George W. Wiegers to his wife, Jo    (my uncle and aunt)

January 1, 1945

"I was looking at the moon tonight.  It is so beautiful.   It doesn't seem possible that 
it is the same moon that shines over you in Missouri, the one that shines over Berlin
and Tokyo.   I sometimes wonder if the enemy looks at the same things we do and 
have the same thoughts we do."
