Thank you for joining me for our annual Memorial Day episode of War and Family: Letters Home.
This episode is being recorded Memorial Day weekend 2024. Memorial Day is sometimes thought of as the kick off to the summer months, and it is – however more importantly it is to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives in defense of our country. The fallen heroes who never made it home.
2nd Lt. Earl Leonard Urban served in the 701st Tank Destroyer Battalion. He was just 27 years old when he lost his life on the battlefields of Northern Italy.
Please take a moment and listen to the story of his life, and hear his letter home to his Mom.
Please share this podcast - the more listeners I have, the better chances I have to send these letters home.
Ensign Dale Cleveland Alexander, US Navy Pilot. He was originally Illinois and he was trained in DeLand Florida as a Dive Bomber Pilot. Mr. Alexander was also very involved in the beginnings of the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum.
During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. It is my hope that All letters in these podcasts will return to family. If you recognize the soldiers or families, please reach out to me at warandfamily@outlook.com and help me get the letters home

During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. It is my hope that All letters in these podcasts will return to family. If you recognize the soldiers or families, please reach out to me at warandfamily@outlook.com and help me get the letters home
Thank you for listening!
