Irv and Mary Reiss (aka Dad and Mom) wrote this book as two letters
per day for fifteen months from late 1943 through March 1945.
Friends and relatives added more letters to bring the total to
nearly 1,000. Virtually all of their letters ended with "I love you
very very much" and "I miss you very very much." It's easy to
empathize with their frustrations and anxieties about being
separated and worried, especially with the birth and nurturing of
their first child Stephen (aka "me) in June 1944. This book title
of From Burma With Love is an understatment. Irv Reiss served in
the US Army from Jun 27, 1941 until September 17, 1945 for a total
of 4 years, 2 months, and 20 days. Foreign service in India and
Burma (Myanmar) was 1 year, 1 month, and 23 days. The foreign
service in Burma was very intense and is the heart of this book --
hence thename, From Burma With Love. Irv was a labor officer along
the Ledo Road from August 28, 1944 until December 11, 1944. His job
was to hire and feed and pay several thousand native laborers (and
a few elephants) to help build that road from Ledo, India to
Mongyu, Burma. Read his letter of October 7, 1944
