IT" LETTERS TO EDITOR November 12, 1952 Dear Sir: I am one of the many marines attached to the First Marines now serving in Korea. I have been here a little over five months now and it gets a little boring with no one writing you or no one to write. I know I am not the only one who thinks that many of the people back home have forgotten us. It is bad enough being so many miles from your country and in a way worse when there is no mail. Maybe if you were to print this in your newspaper I would get a little response from some one back home. Respectfully yours, WALTER HERIG My address: Cpl.

This Saturday, November 22, I graduate from the common spe cialists field wiring and basic electricity school with the 58th AAA, Bn. I think I received a pretty good deal. It’ll be better than the infantry and as for the school, I’m satisfied. I am not much for trying to write something like that so I’ll leave it up to you. I was working for Harrison Bridge at the service station be fore I went into the army.
