48TH FIGHTER BOMBER WING [[/preprinted & centered]]
AP 119    US Air Force

5 November 1954

Dear Sir:

I have just read in the paper of your promotion to Brigadier General and I would like to take this opportunity to extend to you my sincere congratulations on this, another milestone in your career. I well remember when your promotion to Colonel came through when we were in Italy and if you will pardon my saying, I have religiously checked each promotion list wondering when your name would finally appear among the chosen few.

I have been stationed here in France for 27 months and am serving with the 48th Fighter Bomber Wing, undoubtedly one of the best in the Air Force. I am still performing work in the Administrative and Personnel Field and here at the 48th I am the Wing Personnel Sergeant Major. I am currently serving under a Lt Colonel William D. Perry, Jr, the Director of Personnel here, who states that he has met you on several occasions, having been assigned at the Pentagon during the time you were there.

Wishing you continued success, I am
Respectfully yours,
