Heading to U.S.A.

The time arrived when I had to leave J. E. and I crawled into a Cub and flew to Moosburg. We had to "sweat it out" there two days and then by truck to Strabing. We spent one day there and took a C-47 to Le Harve. It was a real thrill to fly over Germany and leave it. I hope the hour will come when we can leave them to their own self-democratic government. We went to Tent City, Camp Lucky Strike, and sweated it out there eight days before going back to Le Harve and the 15th Port Transportation Command. At each of the places we had the best of care and food. Some of the things were not perfect but when thousands of men come in at one time we couldn't all expect to get a shower within three minutes or clothes within ten. We did get good food and plenty of it. They moved us as fast as they could but even an hour seems like an eternity when trying to return to people we had not even heard from for months.
