An Open Letter from a 94-year-old Veteran

94-year-old veteran and widower in Windsor needs your help!

This is an open letter to the person who stole my 2001 Mercury Sable station wagon from my garage on Farmstead Lane in Windsor, Connecticut.


I am a WWII veteran having served with the 447th Bomb Group of the 8th Army Air Corps. I was stationed in England and I flew over 30 combat missions. I am now a 94 year old widower who in the past year lost my wife and my daughter.

My car is my survival for transportation to empty trash at the landfill, to go to the grocery store, go to my church, and to go to the cemetery every day to visit, talk and read the Bible to my late wife. In my car were my bibles that my wife and I read together and that I would take to the cemetery to read to her; my tools that I have had for over 50 years; my personal belongings and other memorabilia that is priceless to me. My English version daily reader of the Vulgate BIble New Testament was especially dear to her and me. I read it to her every day when we were together and took it every day to the cemetery to read to her.

I appeal to you to return my car together with its contents of my walker, tools, glasses, sun glasses, umbrella and 3 bibles. Please.
