X X X I am feeling good today. I got a good night's sleep last night and I am doing as good as ever. I have been reading the Bible every day since I got hurt. I am glad enough that I am living to try to live right. I don't know how I'm living but I am. I don't see how I kept from being killed. I was praying almost all night before I got hit. That was one time I was glad to pray and anybody would have been. Anyone who never thought of the Lord before will when he gets in the spot I was. The more the shells came the more I would pray and I was'nt the only one. The nurses sure are good to us. We have a radio in the ward and books to read. I don't worry about you and the children as I know they are safe from this war. I am praying that it will soon be over so I can come home to you. I want you to take the children to church every time you can if I were there, I would take them." Pvt. Nard is the father of two daughters, Glenda Sue, 3, and Wanda Elaine, one-year-old.
