George Harvalos served in the Army during the the
Korean War. During one life changing Easter
military leave he met Demetra. For George, it was
love at first sight. But his leave was quite
short. Not enough time for a proper courtship.
Determined to wed the young Greek beauty who stole
his heart, George had only one way to woo the love
of his life. Letters. He wrote about the war,
about his life as a soldier, and about his hopes
and dreams. Wrapped in bundles for thirty-five
years after George’s passing, cousin Helen found
these letters stored in her mother’s house. She
gave them to me, George and Demi’s only child.
These letters are a vivid, honest, and eye-opening
glimpse into my father, my parent’s courtship, the
Korean War, and a soldier’s life. Grateful and
moved by my father’s letters, I offer them as a
tribute, not just to him, but to all the men,
women, and children touched by the perils of war.
