Brev fra Forrest til Jenny under Vietnamkrigen

I am in Vietnam now, and it has not stopped raining for 3 month. We are living in rain, and sometimes it is a little bit fun. Nevertheless, when we have to sleep it is a bit muddy. I would write to you every day. I would write about how much I miss you, and how much I love you. You are the women in my life. I knew that for the first time I saw you in the school bus. You always make me smile, and I cannot stop thinking at you. I want you to know that, when this war is over you are the first person I will see.

I have met a man called Bubba. He is my best friend. But not as good as you. Bubba and I are making everything together. We eat together, we going for a walk together, we even sleep together. Bubbas family work with shrimp. Bubba say that when the war is over, he will make a shrimp business. He asked me if I wanted to join him, and I answered yes. So when I come home and I first have visited you, I have to make a shrimp business with Bubba. We will make lot of money out of it.
