On offer is a vintage handwritten letter on ornate letterhead dated Sept 28, 1965 from Dave Morris FN USN USS Turner Joy FPO San Francisco CA to Mrs. M. A. Mulvaney Des Moines Iowa [FREE POSTAGE from warship Postmarker from Turner Joy ship]. A two page letter about shelling Viet Cong camps; shore bombing S. Vietnam E & W Coast; spotter plane said overall a good effect on targets; also on Saturday 7 targets, 6 were shot at, a 7th at an island was overcast weather so they couldn't bomb; also talks about a 1962 Harley Davidson Motorcycle purchased at Yokosuka Japan Navy Exchange Auto Sales. Then he discusses his desire for his own birthday present to be presents to his kids. Interesting dichotomy from bomber to tender father. There is a little wear and folds but overall VG. Show more
