74TH BOMBARDMENT SQUADRON (H)
Office of the Commanding Officer
A.P.O. #662,
23 Oct 44.
Colonel Edwin M. Day,
Dear Sir:
It was with the deepest regret that I heard of your leaving Bomber Command for a new assignment.
I would like to express my sincere thanks for all you have done for myself and the squadron as a whole. It is, to say the least, very gratifying to have a man at the tope who will go “to bat” for us, as you have done on so many occasions.
I wish you the best of luck in your new assignment, and hope that sometime in the future I may again serve under your command. I can think of no better assignment than to serve under you in an active combat theater.
Thanking you again, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
JAMES D. KEMP,
Lt Col. Air Corps.
