More Dead Brothers

Dear Tanya

The fighting on the ground is intense...

There is news that a major operation will commence...

An invasion of Normandy!

I've lost more pilots to the Nazis

Sailor friends to Japanese Kamikazes

The enemy's will is hard to break...

There's only so much more that our men can take...

My Mustang still bears your name...

We've both won much acclaim...

But we always come home broken and hissing...

Despite many kills, my courage is still missing...

There is still some good news to share

Even in the horrors of the money skies...

A respite from the constant reminder...

That the next moment I could die...

I met a girl named Kathia,

Much like you...

She's a flower that blooms in spring...

The misty mountain Dew...

We consummated our love last eve...

In an English tavern, on her bed...

I hope to propose, but I need your permission...

I'm still your baby, I can't make the decision...

To marry a woman, who no matter how much I love...

Because first, I'm your brother and son.

Much love dear older sister...
