Everyone remembers their first love... This blog is a collection of WWII letters sent during the year 1945 by a young Marine to Franie, the girl on the front porch. Letters will be posted as they "arrive". Wick began writing to Franie in 1944. The early letters can be found by visiting the blog "The Girl on the Front Porch 1944".

July 12, 1945 "Spy Movie Tonight"
"Hello Franie,"
"Being as the movie tonite is a spy story (what's worse is that we've seen it before) ...whatcha say we get together a little while. Lookin' at your likeness reminds me of you a little while back, Fran and some of the things that I'll always love about you... closer, closer..."
"This bracelet is really nice to have, Fran Darling, ...and is the only possession I intend to carry back to the States, when and if, ... just like to see anyone but you try to take it off..."
"It'll will be wonderful to be together again and enjoy all the things we're missing now, for almost three years. Your nineteenth and twentieth years are no part of me except for what was written... "
"Franie my darling, we have to close for now..."
