Mail Call for All A. A.s in the Armed Forces

In our first issue we told of the near reunion on a South Pacific island of two veteran A.A. members, one a Navy, the other an Army, lieutenant. Our Navy friend now writes--"Have been having a few A.A. reunions out here on my own. Finally ran into John N., who has returned to this isle after an absence of several months. We see each other frequently and reminisce about the real old days. In addition to Johnny, I had a reunion with the master of a Liberty ship which came in here a short while ago--he was a member of the 'Frisco group and out on the ship we just left the South Pacific and were right back in the old atmosphere. Both of us agreed that without the Group, neither would be here. Such reunions as these do wonders for people who have been more or less completely cut off, and living in a world apart. Give my best to all the old gang, and tell them to start those letters coming!" (That closing sentence should give us pause for thought. Ed.)
