PFC Marvin K. Boller, D Co 743rd Tank BN


I just wanted to share this very emotional item from my Museum. I was very lucky to get  this wonderful letter. It was written by a Mrs. Smith for  PVT Marvin K. Boller, ASN 36839856. PVT Boller was a member of the Co D, light tanks, 743rd Tank  BN. The letter never arrived to Marvin as he was KIA. If someone can give me the date of his death, that would be very heplful for my research. The letter is still in the envelope, but was never opened. I decided not to open it out of respect for the Boller family. Thanks.
