In this special episode of Dearest Suzie, we look back on the letters from May 1965—a month marked by long flights, uneventful operations, administrative headaches, and the persistent strain of being far from home. Popi writes often about mail, money, and military logistics: insurance policies, bank balances, and the arrival of his 13th Air Medal. He jokes about being spoiled by Suzie’s steady letters and shares his excitement over new photos of her and Brett.

Across the month, Popi balances light-hearted moments with reminders of war’s constant presence. He reassures Suzie about his safety, shares his quiet frustration with Army bureaucracy, and reflects on the weariness setting in.
