Although I have never met you I feel I know what kind of Mother you are by the type of son you have given to our country. I want to tell you as much of the details about Leonard’s death that are permissible at this time.
He was a rifleman in a rifle platoon when he was killed. On December 31st Company “E” waqs ordered to attack across a small stream of water on to a strip of ground where several enemy pill boxes were located. Leonard went forward and carried out his duty in the traditional manner of an American soldier. It was during this attack that he was killed.
There is a sacred spot along the New Guinea coast that belongs to you and other Mothers in America. Here our chaplain conducted the final services for your son. The crosses are lined up with proper identification on each.
There is nothing I can say that will fill the empty space in your heart but we have learned here on the fields of battle to look to the hills of God for strength.
I do not know what memories you have of Leonard but always remember “this was his finest hour.”
