Louie would gather up money from the Squadron menbers and buy money orders so the guys could send them home. </div> <div> <B>Need help identifying the two Sq. members standing with Louie outside the canvas tents. </B><A HREF="mailto:webmaster@vp-21.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:webmaster@vp-21.org"><U><B>webmaster</B></U></A></div> <div> Louie writes in his letter home that the Squadron had a going away party on 2 March 1945 for the crews that were going home under the rotation program. The crews were most likely, Lt. Fleming's CAC 11, and Lt. Emerson's CAC 13. These two crews were detatched around the end of Feb. 1945. Lt. Tvedt's CAC 4 was detatched around the 10th of Feb. 1945 so they might not have stayed until March.</div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" height=390 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <I>Tacloban Louie and J.C.
