Heartfelt Letters From Home

Description

1946-1947 were years of transformation for many of the citizens of Clifton Forge, Virginia. Young men were returning from World War II while other young men were leaving to join the Occupation Forces in Japan and Europe.

This book is a compilation of original letters written to my uncle, Paul Patterson, from his mother and father, Lavier and Edna Patterson, while he was serving in the Occupation Forces in Japan. They share the happenings in the family as well as the citizenry of Clifton Forge including births, deaths, marriages and homecomings.
