Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Operation Santa Claus: December 26, 1952 Dear Sir: As the captain will undoubtedly recall, I served long and faithfully as his company gunnery sergeant. All the time I was overseas under his command, I attempted to carry out my duties as efficiently and effectively as possible and to the ultimate benefit of the Marine Corps and our war effort. Should we ever again become associated in a similar way, I would make every possible effort to perform in the same manner. However, sir, there is one thing on which I am going to have to insist - don´t ever again ask me to play Santa Claus to that seven-year-old terror you so fondly refer to as your "heir." When I was to be transferred back to the States from Korea and found I would be stationed where your family is living, you asked me to try to fill in at Christmastime. I made that promise, but I certainly didn´t realize what I was getting into. Maybe you didn´t either, Captain, so I´ll digress enough to tell you a little about it. As soon as I checked into the new base, I dropped around to see your wife. She is well, of course, but I could see that some little thing was bothering her. If it was one of those little chores around the house that pile up while the men are away, I figured I might take care of it, so I asked if there was anything I could do to help out.
