We have a letter from Pfc. JOHNNIE KOZAK who is stationed now at a hospital in Camp Butner, N. C. Johnnie writes that he received the paper quite regularly while in Europe and for us to send it to him again. He said he was “being held here for a while until duty is reassigned again.”

(While in Europe, Johnnie was in an infantry company. We do not know whether or not he was injured).
