My Birthday Buddy
Miss you Vic. We shared a birthday, a day and year apart, mine being 8/29/45 and his 8/30/46. We were a year apart, at the same high school. I processed his application, at Fort Dix, for Officer's Candidate School and put 2 weeks leave, in his orders before reporting. Unfortunately, my friend didn't return. You are on my mind, very often. Happy Birthday today, my friend. Your friend, Al
