℅ Postmaster

August 26, 1942
Hello Sweet,
Rec’d both of your air-mail letters today and was glad to hear from you. Your letters as a matter
of fact are the only ones I got so far.
I’m still getting along fine and in good health. Hope you are the same?
I had written to you about 3 days after I arrived and mail coming across or over will be kinda
slow. I also wrote to my folks to let them know that I’m O.K.
{“Cpl. Joe Olexa” written on bottom of page}
[Page 2]
I went to London for a visit and it was enjoying. [sic] It’s much different from New York
although it has very many historical sights. I went to see the London tower, the big Zoo,
Westminster Abbey, and a good view of the Buckingham Palace.
The steering apparatus on the cars here are on the right side and they drive on the opposite side
than what we do.
Although London has been bombed in the past, it is cleaned up and things keep going as usual.
They also have the subways which will take you most anywhere just as in New York.
The English people are swell
{“Cpl. Olexa” written on bottom of page}
[Page 3]
and have a great morale. I found it kinda hard to get used to English money at first and I now
know it quite well.
�I still think of you and miss you also. Maybe someday we will see each other again. Well
“honey,” I haven’t much to write so I will close and in the meantime will be waiting to hear from
you again.
Sincerely Yours,
With Lots of Love
Joe
P.S. Your air mail letters get here a lot faster of course.
Give the folks my best regards.
I guess Gloria was just trying to be sick to get out of work, don’t you [think]? You can tell her
I’m a little farther away now and that she will be able to write. Ha! Ha!

Van Der Weide, Agnes
Description
An account of the resource
Collection of letters between Joseph Olexa and Agnes Van Der Weide, dating from 1941 to 1946. Olexa fought in the U.S. Army 26th Infantry Division, Company "L", and eventually attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. Over the course of World War II, Olexa was engaged in North Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium, and Germany. He fought in the Invasion of Normandy, the liberation of Belgium, the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, and the Battle of the Bulge. While deployed abroad, Olexa maintained regular correspondence with Agnes Van Der Weide, a young woman he met through mutual friends. Agnes was the daughter of Benjamin and Minnie (Ter Meer) Van Der Weide. The Van Der Weide family lived in Jamestown, Michigan and Ashburnham, Massachusetts until moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1943.
While the letters do not contain details relating to Olexa's military activities, due to heavy censorship of soldiers' correspondence by the U.S. Army, the letters do depict the daily activities of an infantry soldier and illustrate the blossoming romance between the two. Joseph and Agnes were married July 23, 1945, and lived in West Michigan until Agnes's death in 1993. Joseph Olexa died December 3, 2000. They were survived by their son, Karl Olexa.

Hello “Honey,”
I am now in England. We had an enjoyable voyage also. I’m fine as usual and hope that you are
the same. Don’t worry about me for I shan’t like it a bit? [sic] Give your folks and the rest my
regards?
Your letters will be censored, so don’t forget to write “only” on one side for some of the things
you may write will be cut out. The only change in my address is the A.P.O. which is “One”
instead of the other number.
{“Cpl. JOSEPH OLEXA” written at bottom of page}
[Page 2]
Are you still working? Still taking it easy at work, I’ll bet? Ha! Ha!
Roy is about the same and there isn’t much of a change with him.
Well, “honey” I shall close and in the meantime will be thinking of you.
Always Yours,
With Lots of Love
Joe

An account of the resource
Slides developed during World War II as a training tool, for top-side battle-station personnel on board ship and for all aircraft personnel, by the US Navy. In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill.

Description
An account of the resource
Slides developed during World War II as a training tool, for top-side battle-station personnel on board ship and for all aircraft personnel, by the US Navy. In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill.
