[u][b]15th July 1944[/b][/u] Sorry for taking so long to write one simple letter to everyone. You know how it goes. I am busy finishing off the Germans with other important military fellows. Hell, I ended up at a party down at some English pub before we left for France. It was fun to celebrate and hang out with the others before our work began. Anyway, I have safely arrived at France with all of my limbs intact. I felt like writing this letter to tell y'all that I am still alive and well. And I got the letter about Joseph. I can't believe that he is growing up so fast. Felt like ages since I last saw him. I hope that he still remembers Uncle Clifford when I come back home. Anyway, I am feeling a lot better that I have wrote this short letter. Also, the beaches of Normandy is a sight to see. Amazing to see the place where hundreds of people died during the D-Day invasion. Thankfully, this war might be over in the matter of months and I can finally come home. Good luck and stay safe while working in the factories. One more thing, I will be sure to take some pictures of villages in France for the couple (I am talking to you Julia and Wyatt). Your pal, Clifford Cox. [u][b]16th July 1944[/b][/u] I am hopeful that today's operations are fruitful and our platoons gets to kill some Germans. I am going with 1st platoon to see the action up close while providing my skills during the fighting. Unrelated to today's operations, I just learned that Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died a few days before we landed. Imagine getting on the beaches of Normandy, ready to fight for your country against the enemy. Then, you died of a heart attack. It's sad when someone as important as Theodore dies before they could even begin their mission. Hell, I would be pissed that I died without doing anything impactful. Thankfully, I am young and healthy. I will be lasting for a long time. Anyway, I will be writing again whenever we start fighting the enemy forces. I hope that God is with us and protecting us while we fight the enemies of freedom.
