           My name is John Jacobs I entered the military at 24, I am now 28 and I have a wife named Martha. I also have a son named Quinn and I love him to death. We are about to invade Normandy and take over. I got a letter from my wife saying she's pregnant. The only thing I do this for is my wife and kids. "John!" Said, Alex Bailey, we've been friends ever since I joined the military. "It's time for training." He said, "I'll be right there." I said, after training it was time to go to bed. It was a easy day today.

The next morning we had way more training than usual. My legs and body was sore and aching.
"Alex, have you gotten a letter from Beth yet." I said. Beth is Alex's wife. " No not even my mother." Alex said. " That's bullshit, if I were you I would just send them a letter." I said. "I did, I asked how they were doing how my kid was and I've got nothing." He said. I respond with nothing just so he could calm down and not think of it.

Dear Martha,
"How are you doing? Training has been hard lately and I'm very sore. Besides that we are going to have to leave soon for war and I wanted to say goodbye if this is my last moments with this world. How is Quinn doing?  Has he been a pain? Any ways I just wanted to see how you were doing and say goodbye.

Love, John
