6 JUNE 1945

Dear Family- BELLUNO, ITALY

Suppose you’ve heard a lot about “POINTS.” My total is a follows:

IN ARMY (46 MONTHS) - 46

OVERSEAS (17 MONTHS) - 17

BRONZE STAR MEDAL - 5

CAMPAIGN STARS:

ROME-ARNO CAMPAIGN - 5

NOTH APENNINE “ - 5

PO VALLY “ - 5

TOTAL - 83

And I have another award coming which will raise the total to 88. But there are at least three reasons I’ll be retained in the service- I’ve attended an Army service school, I’m a field grade officers (above captain), and I’ve got an essential job.

Love, Henry
