    I'll Be Home For Christmas, Almost. Sailor's 1945 Letter

    Borrowed (with permission) from a friend's FB page:

    Mid December 1945, my dad was returning to states after 17 months at sea. This was the card he composed just before putting in at Pearl for refueling. The ship reached San Francisco on Dec 22. Even though he didn't make it home for Christmas, he did make it home...
