Letters from war

Mr. Curtis,

I am writing to inform you of your brother's heroic actions. On the evening of March 9th, our platoon went out on a mission. I was down, and your brother instead, of pulling out like he was ordered came back after me. He saved my life but in doing so he was captured. I wanted to inform you that a mission is being planned on getting him back, I intend to be one of those going. I will bring him back one way or the other, be it dead or alive, he will not be left behind. He will be brought home; it's in our creed that no one gets left behind.

After all he has done for me, it's only right that he is retrieved and brought back to the family that loves him. His bravery is what stands out the most about him, I can honestly say I wish the best and I hope things turn out well, when we go retrieve him. I don't know what his condition will be in, but I pray that he is returned to you in at least a decent shape, know that I will do all that I can to see to it that he is. I think your brother is one of the bravest young men I know and I want to extend my thanks to the family that made him the way he is.

Sincerely,

Private Andrew Malone.

Darry couldn't believe what he was reading; his youngest brother was currently MIA. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and willed the letter away. He didn't want to have to tell Sodapop about Ponyboy's current status after all Soda wasn't very happy about Ponyboy going off into the military in the first place. He wished with all his heart Pony had given college a chance but nonetheless the younger Curtis had joined the military and was now stationed overseas.

Okay so that's a start I hope you enjoy it and if you want it to continue, I can promise the chapters will get longer so please give it a chance. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Liz
