Rundell from their son Howard, S3c, who was in New York after completing an overseas trip. He writes: Dear Mom and Dad, “Back in the good old U.S.A, again and mighty glad to be here. Had things a bit rough this time. Went to Ant werp, Belgium and when all’s said aqd done, I really don’t think we missed much. “We anchored for eight days ill England and got rammed by another ship while there. Smashed our bow in but didn’t hurt the operation of the ship any. The first night we got out of Eng land we reached the Netherlands and had to stop for the night and got in the middle of an air attack. We did a lot of shooting and after the first few minutes it was kind of fun. Don’t know if we hit any Germans or not but we didn’t get hit either so we felt pretty good about the whole thing. “We stayed in Antwerp for 17 days and I have finally got my fill of firworks. If anyone ever wants to know anything about flying bombs they can ask me. Antwerp is our< biggest supply base for France and the Ger mans were throwing an awful lot of these Buzz Bombs into it. Week Snds were the worst. They seemed to save the darn things up Missionary Scheduled At Safeway you'll find all the foods you need for Easter dining . . . tops in quality, low in cost.

The brake check planned by the officers consists of placing a one-inch block of wood on the floorboards under the brake pedal. The brake pedal is then depressed, and if the pedal strikes the block of wood before the brakes start to take hold, the brakes are con sidered in need of adjustment.

As a usual thing we only got one about every half hour, but on busy nights they were, coming over every two or three minutes. The things are a lot worse than planes. You never know where they are go ing to hit or when. You can’t scare them off, in fact you can’t even shoot at them due to the fact that when they are close enough for our guns it’s too close to be setting off a ton of high explosives. They look about like a small airplane and make a loud buzzing noise so we always knew when they were coming. The Germans were also using some rocket bombs or V-2s. These travel at a terrific rate of speed and you can’t see them ‘til they explode. They are quite a bit more violent than the V-ls but they don’t send over as many of them. “The city of Antwerp was probably about the size of Port land before the war and I think it must have been a rather beautiful old town, but it’s really messed up now. Buildings blown down, no widows, no heat no merchandise, no nothing. People back in the states should take time to visit some places like Antwerp and Flushing. I’m sure it would end a lot of griping and complaining, strikes and such. One doesn’t stop to think of the damage in an economic sense. In stead you wonder if and how human beings still exist in such horrible destruction. When this war finally does get over, I’ni going to have a great apprecia tion of the U.S., no kidding.
