WWII/Occupation-Era Airmail Envelope, Pfc. Ross Moon (11th Airborne Division) to Miss Marianna Sammiet, June 1946

This airmail envelope, postmarked June 3, 1946, was sent by Pfc. Ross Moon of the 11th Airborne Division's Headquarters Company to Miss Marianna Sammiet in Richmond, California. Addressed via APO 468, it dates from the division's postwar occupation duty in Japan, illustrating how personal correspondence continued to bridge servicemen overseas and loved ones at home in the months following World War II's end.
