Military Postcards !

Military Postcards_,

Because being so busy with basic training, the troops were unable to have much contact with their families. Instead, they sent out postcards just to keep in touch. At times, they weren’t even able to write anything on the back of them. It was hard for the troops because they would go weeks, sometimes months without speaking to any of their family members. In turn, funny military postcards were made to in a way make fun of what the troops go through on a daily basis. These postcards allow for their family members to get a view into what their life is like now and also allows them to have some humor during rough times.

Great topic, once again dear Vee!

 

Yes, let's see what kind of postcards we can come up with from WWII. It was sent from Camp Custer. It's from my dad and addressed to my grandmother in Detroit. I really cherish it.
