Letter from Gratton C. Miller to Jesse G. Dorsey, December 1, 1942.
| Description: |
Gratton tells Dorsey he will graduate Roudolph sometime next week. He has already completed Pearl Harbor Day Ground school. He will have about 80 hours of flying when he leaves there. He does not know where he will go for advanced training. He has asked for pursuit training. 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. |
