Wow, that Greenberg letter is really nice. I also have a Greenberg, and it's also one of my favorites. It reads:
"March 4, 1968
Dear Roger -
Having served 4 1/2 years in the Air Force during World War I, it hardly seems possible that young men are once again leaving their homes to serve in another war. I hope your tenure in the service will not be as long as mine and that you will return safe and sound and proud of your contribution to your country, as I was.
Your Mother tells me of your love for baseball and I hope you will be able to continue your interest in the game while you are away.
God speed, good luck and my very best wishes.
Cordially yours,
Hank Greenberg"
