After the entry of Red China into the affray the mission was slightly changed and we attacked in a New Direction. It is gratifying to know that we have people like you and your Brother standing watch even at Christmas . If you wonder about the 6th Mar. we were re. designated 3rd 7th upon arrival in the Land Of Tte Morning Calm I was fortunate to be assigned to Korea for two more tours of duty.
