Merry Christmas 1943 From The 2nd Marine Raider Battalion
From an isle down south
an' a long ways west,
I send your Season's Wishes
for the best.
I send my love
and thoughts sincere,
I send my hopes
for the coming year.
I'll breathe a prayer
for a Nation Free,
and I hope next Christmas
I can send you ME.
Christmas message I sent from Bougainville 1943.
Merry Christmas to all!
Gung Ho,
Ray

Great! I've seen a few of those from other ships, so I'm familiar with the 'format' so to speak. Matter of fact, the USS Nashville did one Christmas of 98 when I was aboard her.
Thanks sir. Have a great New Year!
