A letter sent from a US soldier stationed in Germany to his mother in Massachusetts has been delivered 76 years after it was sent.
Army Sergeant John Gonsalves, 22 at the time, wrote to his mother in Woburn in December 1945 after the official end of WWII, WFXT-TV reported Wednesday.
The letter would sit unopened for more than 75 years before being found in a US Postal Service distribution facility in Pittsburgh.
"Dear, Mom. Received another letter from you today and was happy to hear that everything is okay," the letter reads. "As for myself, I'm fine and getting along okay. But as far as the food it's pretty lousy most of the time."
