This envelope, postmarked at Camp Beale, California on July 4, 1945, was sent by newly inducted soldier Pvt. Ross Moon to Marianne Sammet of Richmond, California. Mailed under the U.S. military's free postage privilege for service members, it represents the thousands of personal letters exchanged between soldiers in training and loved ones on the home front in the final months of World War II.
