"Yours, Johnny" by Hollis Shiloh
Johnny is a soldier serving in Vietnam when he receives a letter from an eight-year-old girl that her teacher assigned. Her brother, Daniel, takes over writing to Johnny when his sister gets too busy, and the two young men become pen pals. Both are nineteen, but Daniel is ineligible to join the military. He works in a factory, lives with his parents, and is miserable. He and Johnny keep each other going long distance, but will their friendship survive when they meet in person? This is another interesting, heart-tugging novella by Hollis Shiloh. 63 pages (Kindle edition).
