** This volume contains letters selected for their references to daily life in the navy and on the home front. They have been edited for spelling and grammatical consistency, and include some historical notes. ** Alvie and Wilma Brammer wrote each other letters almost every day while he served in the US Navy during World War II. On the USS Manatee in the Pacific and on the home front in Indiana, they shared familiar concerns despite the exceptional circumstances: their young children, their family and friends, their living situations, their finances, their food, and their day-to-day work. Whether direct and specific or censor-conscious and vague, these letters are a testament to the love that kept families together while they were oceans apart. With a foreword by the editor--one of Alvie and Wilma's great-grandchildren--and an afterword by their daughter, Sybil, this book will be a treasured keepsake for any Brammer descendant.
