I know there were plans to add letters from the recent wars, but haven't been down that way to check it out.

It's sad because, although I appreciate the instant communications we all enjoy, I doubt that generations to come will be able to hold our letters and read about our thoughts and feelings. And the prose that is in so many old letters is all but lost. A quick ILY or a ♥ seems to suffice and has supplanted the outpouring of sentiment evidenced by the letter you displayed. Times change, I guess...Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885468929827985437.post-48186771247142844022011-10-09T17:09:54.508-05:002011-10-09T17:09:54.508-05:00Hope the repairs go well and get done quickly!Hope the repairs go well and get done quickly!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263191567454481794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885468929827985437.post-90371539993786685472011-10-09T16:54:10.311-05:002011-10-09T16:54:10.311-05:00I got to go to Norfolk on the way to DC when I was...I got to go to Norfolk on the way to DC when I was 14 with my grandparents.

Good thing he wrote it for her to keep.<br /><br />I love the idea of the various letters lying on the ground.
