“I was delighted to learn of the remarkable progress of your husband, Technical Sergeant Charles T. Wesley, of the 92nd armored field artillery battalion, who has just won his third promotion since joining this division.

Your husband has attained his new position through intelligent application of the military principles in which his has been instructed, and his latest promotion places him in a position where his skill and leadership will have an important bearing on the coming successes of his unit on the field of battle.

You may well be proud of your husband. His progress justifies the confidence of our nation’s leaders in the ability of Americans to rise rapidly and energetically to meet the threats of our enemies.”
