My Dearest Mom,

I want to wish you the happiest Mother’s Day ever and that by the next one, I’ll be there to wish you a happy Mother’s Day.

All my love

Your son,

Max

(the above note was in a card illustrated by one of Max’s friends and fellow soldier, it also included another poem and card which poem reads below)

Orchids for my Mother

When I was just a screamin brat, and wetting floors where ere’ I sat, And when my screams got loud and mighty….who’d come in to change my diedy?

 

None other!

 But,

My Mother!

Happy Mother’s Day

Love your son,

Max

And now that I’m in Germany – Fightin to get this darn world free – Who sits back home and writes to me?

None other!

But my mother!

-Happy Mother’s Day

Love.
Max
