It has been weeks up here in the front and nothing has happen. I mean that should be a good thing but it's just horrible here. I miss you and the family, tell them all I say hi and i’ll be home soon. Mom, I don’t know where to begin. A lot has happened in the last 3 months. Two people already died and our captain is super mean, I personally don’t know why the family told me to come. I'm not suited to be in this place, I had dreams. I wanted to go to med school and become something, yet now i'm suck in the front with no food, water, or any clean clothes. Even though i miss you guys I can’t believe you would put your only daughter in the war. It doesn’t matter anymore, everything has changed in my life.

Yet, I don't see any of you guys coming here to fight the war, but us young kids are meant to be here. That quite great if you don't mind me saying. Have the young ones go out and fight while you all have your time relaxing, doesn’t seem so fair if you ask
