Dear Mom and Dad,

I got your letter.  Tell Sarah I say hi.

This war is horrible.  I've been reassigned to a mission to find Private Ryan.  His brothers died, so he gets a ticket home.  He's lucky.

Today was horrible, just like every other day.  I had to check some Krauts after we shot them down.  That's the problem with being a medic.  Everyone thinks I can save them, even if their outsides are all over the place.  I also have to spend so much time with the dead.

Today, Adrian Caparzo was shot by a Kraut sniper.  You remember Caparzo?  He's the one that wrote all over my last letter.  He's dead.  I could have saved him, but Captain wouldn't let me go out there till Jackson sniped the guy down.  By the time I got to him, it was too late.

The food here sucks.  Really bad.  Somehow Mellish and Reiben eat it, but I just can't.  We got a new guy with us.  His name is Upham, and he's a Corporal.  The guys are always picking on him, like telling him that Fubar is German.  He's funny though. 

Well, Captain is telling me to go to bed; we're moving out in two hours.

Love you all,

Arden

P.s. Mellish says hi and feel free to send him food.
