A Censor Approved V-Mail Letter

[based upon an actual letter sent home during Operation Torch in WWII, to which the reviewing officer added "Amen!"]


V-Mail


Dear Mom & Dad,
          Well, I finally have a little time to write to you. After leaving where we were before we left for here, not knowing we were coming here from there, we couldn't tell whether we had arrived here or not. Nevertheless, we now are here, and not there. The weather here is just as it always is at this season. The people here are just like they look. The land, its plants and animals, are also the same as always. The taste of the water and the smell of the air is indescribable. We are doing, more or less, what we came here to do. Being here and doing things is just like we expected, except for the unexpected, and is nothing like being back there. How are things back there? Write soon.
Love,
Junior
