Title: Dear Mom and Dad
Disclaimer: Since these are real people of course I don't own anything except for my own characters. Nor do I own the series Band of Brothers. I realize that I am changing certain details but that is just for the sake of this story. This is purely fictional and I hope that I am not offending anyone by writing this.
Something before you start reading. I wrote my story after I read the story "Rich Man's Son" from "Darkover". I think you could understand without reading it, but I recommend "Rich Man's Son". It's really good.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Your last and only letter hit me very hard. Mom, you wrote that I am not a boy for the hard and tough army. Dad managed that I become a MP Officer. I hate this, damn.
I'm a man, not a little boy. I'm a Captain now and look at me, Mom. I'm still alive. And you know that we fight at Normandy, Bastogne and so on, don't you?
I'm the intelligence officer, you know? And Mom, that's what I like to do and I do it without Dad's help. I love my work. I love my friends, true friends. Best friends I've ever had.
Catharine is gone with Steven and the dog. She hates the dog.
Your letter gave me the last kick to join the paratroopers. Thanks for that. That's the best that ever happened to me. I'm 26 years and now I know who I am. I'm Captain Lewis Nixon, 26 years, alcoholic, thanks Dad, and I'm very happy to know what is the reality of life. I lost some friends in the field and some are still alive, same like me.
I hope you and Dad will understand me soon.
In Love, your son Lewis
