Hellertown & Lower Saucon V-Mail archives

During WWII, “V-Mail” (short for “Victory Mail”) was a method of sending letters between soldiers and their families. It was a popular way to manage mail flow and reduce the weight and bulk of correspondence. Messages were written on special V-Mail forms, then microfilmed to save space. Upon arrival, the microfilm was enlarged and printed back onto paper to be delivered to the recipient. This method saved cargo space for other wartime supplies while still allowing for regular communications.

80th anniversary of the D-Day landings

From: Ken Bloss

On June 6th, 2024, my Grandson, Jed Sivley, who is currently enlisted in the Army, was fortunate to be sent to France to work at the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Jed chaperoned the returning Veterans and Celebrities. Approximately 10,000 people attended the ceremony at Normandy American Cemetery. While there, he met Rosie the Riveter and got to know General Dwight D. Eisenhower's Granddaughter.

This was a military event my grandson will never forget!
