Ensign Charles Edward Sweeney Writes to His Cousin Esther Back in the States About a Christmas Day He Will Never Forget
&
Lieutenant Edward L.Pulaski Sends His Sweetheart, Sara “Mickey” Rooney, a Very Special Christmas Message
For servicemen and women thousands of miles from their loved ones in any war, holidays often prompt mixed emotions. Thoughts of friends and family members gathered together provide them with fond memories to help pass the time and, most important, give them something for which to hope. But it also makes them all the more homesick. While stationed aboard a subchaser anchored near the hot, tropical islands of the Philippines in December 1944, a twenty-three-year-old ensign from Rhode Island named Charles Edward Sweeney was trying to enjoy the spirit of the season as much as possible. In a letter written to a favorite cousin on Christmas Day, Sweeney explained that a sudden turn of events caused him to forget about all that he was missing and appreciate, instead, the most precious gift of all—life itself.
