This week we have letters written home by two brothers from Lawrenceville Virginia. Pvt James W. Scarborough served in the 1177th Military Police Aviation and Cpl Julien L. Scarborough served with the 752nd Tank Battalion.
During WW2 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.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. Please visit me on Facebook, or email me at [email protected] and help me get the letters home
Also please check out Roch n' Rumble! A nonprofit organization that provides an opportunity to veterans to learn how to play an instrument. Instruments and instructions are provided to veterans - please consider donating funds, or perhaps an instrument to find out how, lease visit Rocknrumble.Boston
Thank you for listening!
