Ensign Eddie Hagle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hagel Sr., an old fighter who is in the US Navy recently printed a letter to his parents. It would do everyone good to read this letter.
At Sea Nov. 1, 1942
Dear Father & Mother
Things look pretty much the same out here, still working and it looks as though there is no end to the Japes; however we are told there is an end and we are looking for it, The men at least think so and it is with that spirit that we all work and fight with.
The class of men is the best you have ever seen and you have never seen such spirit in you life. I was kind of afraid at first with all the new men going to WAR, but I have found out it is not the young ones who are afraid but the old timers. If you could call it being afraid. I have seen these young kids (you might call them that-KIDS) stand right in danger. Their shipmate falling right beside them and all they do is step up and take his place. They curs the Japes, it surly would make a mother's ears burn and I mean Burn. Of course the Old Timers do not teach them that. I have seen men hit to such an extend that in normal times they would drop and give up, but not now! There is only one way they quit and that is to die. I can truly say they really fight, men with that sprit will go a long way.
Now can you do me a favor? All the parents you know who have Boys in the Navy, tell them to write and write often. Why? Well I will tell you. To begin with I would rather look at a dead man any day then to look at a Boy who did not get a letter when mail comes aboard and everyone around him is reading a letter. You can not imagine his feeling and his looks. It even goes to such extent that he thinks no one gives a "damn", it can be plain suicide
You see we do not get to go ashore for months, at present it has been "Several" months. Much to long for a young man and the only real enjoyment he has is when he get mail. What I am trying to say is that if you keep a sailor happy, you have a good fighting man. We are the backbone of the war regardless of what the Army says. The Navy is doing the hard work and nasty work beside. Compare our losts and you will see. So if you tell Parents to write you will help keep a good bunch of men happy and we will be glad to do our share.
Your Son,
Eddie

Lt. Clifford B. Hahn Presumed Dead by War Department. Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Hahn listed as "Missing in Action" on January 24, 1944. According to a message received by his parents of Gillespie County, the Army Air forces now listed him as Died in Action.
The parents of the often decorated airman refuse, however, to give up hope for their son and are of the opinion that he is still alive "somewhere in Europe."
Lt. Hahn completed his 60th mission over Europe in January 1944 and is the holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters.
He was reported missing on January 24, 1944 after failing to return to his base in England from a raid over Germany. He was seen by his companions when he headed back over France in his P-47 Thunderbolt plane to furnish cover for a companion plane that was running out of gasoline, and was last seen over Dieppe, France.
Lt. Hahn was born in Gillespie County in 1916 and his 29th birthday will fall on May 24th of this year. He entered the service in June 1941, trained in Kelly Field, and at the Corsicana, Waco and Victoria AAF flying schools before commissioned in Victoria in November 1942.
He received further training in Florida and left for overseas in January 1943, serving there for a year before reported missing.
Basis for the Hahns' belief that their son is still alive are letters received from companions and word from a returned "Buddy" who stated they felt Lt. Hahn was still alive.
