You are right Owen

You have to remember. This along with v mail is all that we had. We looked forward to it.
Bill Mauldin got in trouble with George Patton over them. He said that it degraded the American soldier. He had Bill stopped. But the outrage from the GI'S cut that short. He was ordered by Eisenhower to allow Mauldin to continue. We loved it. He told it the way that it was.
Bill Mauldin died a couple of years ago.
