80-CF-836-21-1:  V-Mail, February 23, 1943.  American troops everywhere have more mail.  The easiest, fastest, and best way to send it to them is to use V-Mail.  Your letters are then microfilmed, flown overseas, and distributed in a much shorter time than they would be if you used regular mail.  By using V-Mail when writing to Americans on the fighting fronts, you not only save time in transportation, but you also free vital cargo space on merchant ships.   Shown:  USS Enterprise (CV 6).  Mail always brings a happy smile to the faces of Uncle Sam’s sailors and these two Aviation Machinist Mates, First Class are no exception.  On the left, Lawrence M. Shannon shows Joseph O. Legg a letter a from his sister in which she tells him he is now an uncle.  Photographed by PhoM/2C B.W. Manchrzak.  U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
