Happy Love Letters Valentine’s Day America!
If a picture’s worth a 1000 words
This love’s for you. It will endure.
Morris took quite a few snapshots when he was deployed in the South Pacific during WW2.

Nurses looking like Rosie the Riveter arrive as a boat load.
God bless America! Will post more soon.
Love,
