Letters from the front Website
 

Hey guys, I decided a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to collate all of these great letters home people have been putting on here and create a web site for them all. Well, I have gotten a start here. It is just a Geocities site but it should be able to hold what we have. It is also just barely started at this point. I hope to have evryone's letters up later today.

I intend to also include the missions and mission recaps. I can probably include some of the other things some of you are putting together. Let me know what you would like to see included. Just remember one thing, this is my first shot at a web site so any advice would be appreciated!

Cool site. Can you put the telegram to my parents in there?

I'll have to find it. I hadn't seen it unless you just put it up. I think I have everyone else's letters, just have to finish getting them up there!

Here it is:


Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rain Man:

It is our sad duty to inform you that your son, Rain Man, had been killed in action in duty to his country. While it would be best that you not know the gruesome, cringeworthy manner in which he died, please rest assured that the US Army Air Force will do everything possible to find what's left of him, or at least the largest undigested pieces, and return them to you.

Yours Truly,

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Got it and it is up.

Anyone else want to write a letter, I will keep a close eye on this forum or you can post them here and I will add them as I have a chance. Hopefully I will have all the older notes up today then I can try working on adding a section for the missions themselves.

Dear Mom,

England is cold, dark, and wet all of the time. So far all I've accomplished since I've been here is to catch the clap. Tell Jenny it's probably best if she doesn't wait for me.

Love, mlyonsd

Ps. I hope that no good Bill Rogers finally did the decent thing and married sis.

Ok, I should have everyone's letters up at this time. Please let me know if I made any mistakes. There are a couple of typos but that is the way they were written in the first place. I wanted to leave those in for flavor! :D

hydrae... grab a free site from my site... www.methodlab.com go to build portfolio and you can upload what you have...

no cheesy banner ads or pop up crap.

cool site so far... good first effort.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Got thru my first mission. We bombed XXXXXX, and got back in one piece. We didn't suffer and major hits but those pings scared the crap outta me. Hopefully we can put a major hurting on the Raider...Nazis. Gotta make up for the memory of my brother who was lost aboard XXXXXXX.

Your Son,
Whoman69

Really nice job. :thumb:

Dear Mom and Dad,
I hope this letter finds you both well. A lot has happened since last I wrote you. First off, I hope this letter gets to you before the War Department folks knock on the front door to inform you that your son, along with all crewmembers aboard the Wrath of Zod were lost when the plane went down over the English Channel a little over a week ago.
If those people have already been there, please ignore what they told you about my death. It didn't happen-well, actually, it did, but it didn't--damn! This is so hard to explain.
Remember that Hindu temple on Melrose and, I think, 7th Avenue North? I think, to better understand what's going on, you might consider spending some time over there.

your Loving Reincarnated Son,
Doug

Dear Mrs Edwards,
I regret to inform you your husband was shot down in raid over XXXXXXX. But through his heroic actions all of the crew of the Commando Chief Managed to survive bailing out. Because of his Brave actions, I have recommended him for the silver star.
We have received word from Red Cross that he is now a POW. All information indicates that he is in good health and spirits, and god willing this war will be over shortly so he might return to you.

Yours truly,
"Hap" Arnold
Commander 8th AF.

Okay, I am caught up to here. Just wanted a place keeper so I know where to start next time! :)

Hydrae,
 

Good job,
Has anyone read kcnut's letter home? Hilarious! Did he write that, or did some "Gannonstalk" him?
