December 19, 1965 Da Nang, Viet Nam Dear Kiss Clemens: I received the book you sent to the service men in Viet Nam and the letter enclosed. ' I enjoyed the book Very much, and had for a long time had the desire to read it. I don't know if you have ever read the book or any of John Steinbeck's works, but if you have you will know why he is a well liked author. I was very glad to receive the letter you wrote and the support you and a lot of other Americans are giving the service men here in Viet Nam. host of the service men are against the Anti-Viet Nam demonstrations but we also realize that there is always that lot. This will not seem very much like Christmas over here but I would like to say that all the books, candy, cookies and the cards being sent over here has meant a great deal to all of us. All the books that were sent from your neighborhood were received If the Sea Bees of Mobile Construction Battalion Nine of the United tatee Navy and I might say were well appreciated. 'We don't have a lot of time to do any reading but when we do have a little time off a good book or magazine is a good way to pass the time. You said you would like to know a little about me. Well there isn't too much to say. I have been in the Navy since I Was 17 years of age and will he 23 the 18th of January. I am a second class petty officer or pay grade ES. I am a machinest by trade or that is what I do in the Navy. Ky home is in Birmingham, Alabama but haven't been there enough since 1959 to call it home much anymore. I have pretty well traveled around the world since coming into the Wavy, I was in Kew York in the fall of 1961 and enjoyed it very much. There are ten men that sleep in the tent I live in and call homey and some of them are trom up in your part of the country. They asked ma when I wrote if you did answer to tell them about where the town is in which you live. And to tell you and all the people there thanks a lot for the books and to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Well I must close and go to work. Write soon and have a nice holiday season. Thanking you very much, Dan Eranton MR2 AGO
