Was this written by “the” Brian Keith, the movie and TV star? Clicking over to Wikipedia, the article on him indicates he served in the Marine Corps from 1942–1945.

I highly doubt that. No actor would have outed himself in 1961. Probably a fake name.

Thank you for sharing this, it’s so moving! I wonder if anyone writes letters like this anymore. What a gem this is, and what a wonderful day to share it.

Equally moved…All I can say is thanks for the post. Coincidentally, I am reading _An Army at Dawn_ which is about that campaign in North Africa.

It takes a lot to get me to cry, but that did it. Further comment would be worthless.

I’m crying a bit, and writhing in frustration at out government.

I love my country too much not to tell them continue in blissful ignorance while we suffer.
