Present address: Baton Rouge the clothing and other items myself I had the pleasure of attending two of the parties where the children were' entertained and the articles were distributed The needy Korean children from selected schools and orphanages were transported to the military areas and greeted by Santa Claus himself who in one case arrived by helicopter and were shown several hours of fun by the soldiers Besides items from the States refreshments and toys bought by funds and donations raised by the soldiers themselves were distributed Entertainment was provided by both the children and the servicemen In my opinion Santa was an overwhelming success here in the seventh division as I am sure it was wherever American troops are stationed due mainly to the part played by you at home Also
