Letter from Floyd C. Phipps to Jesse Dorsey, April 17, 1944.

Description:	Phipps tells Dorsey the Marines, Army and Navy working together is one team he is proud to be on. He cannot tell all the places he has been. Right now they have a very nice camp on the beach but it is not like it looks in the movies. They got short wave radios to use for recreation. He likes the pictures in the book they sent. He dreams of being home. This letter is part of a large group of letter written to or by Jesse G. Dorsey during World War II. Dorsey ran the community house for the Louisville Cement Company in Speed, Indiana. Being a veteran of World War I, he knew the value of providing support to the troops. He wrote letters and sent the company newsletter (Speedometer) to several hundred service men and women during the war. The community house also hosted weekend parties for soldiers from Fort Knox, Kentucky during the war.
