How about portions or the whole letters that Trao and Ho Chi wrote to Sgt White's family when he went home as related in West's The Village.

Maybe this paragraph.

"About 3 months ago my village was having trouble with Viet Cong and Sgt. J. D. White and Sq help protect my people and land. I want to thank him very much for helping have peace in my village."

or

"Sgt. White and Sq. work to hard at this duty station. They work very hard never look tired."
