Private Sigmund Valdimeer Westad, US Army Combat Engineer
Around the 16:50 mark, you will hear my dog Sam wanting to comment on the podcast. Since Sam is a rescue, and as you will hear in the podcast, Pvt Westad was a supporter of local animal shelters.... I decided to leave it in. I'd like to think that Sam was giving a bark of thinks to Pvt Westad :o) Please find me on Facebook and YouTube and if you would like to help support my mission, please click on this link - and buy me a cup of coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kOuXYjRET
During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
