Arthur Pina Adame, my dear tío, was one of the first causalities in Cambodia as the Vietnam War spread further. Written on May 4, 1970, the following links display his last letter sent to his mom and dad. He passed away 18 days later after writing this; May 22, 1970, 45 years ago (blog post 2015).

 

Each link displays his last letter, page one through page three: Last Letter Part 1, Last Letter Part 2, and Last Letter Part 3.
