I love how 'get a hot meal' became 1940s man code for you look fucked up

In October 1944, Dick wrote a letter to one of the wounded men, 2nd Lt. Charles Hudson, and ended it with, "Love and kisses"

Relatives of Hudson wrote to Dick in 2001 and sent him a copy of his 1944 letter

Callum Turner & Austin Butler in Masters of The Air (2024—)

[nixonnewjersey]

I don't know if this has been discussed but I haven't seen it before

Remember when Dick told Nix his autograph was going to be worth a lot of money one day because nobody had one?

I just stumbled upon a photograph signed by Lewis Nixon, and it was sold at auction for $5,500 earlier this year (along with an FDC signed by Robert Sink)

(Source: Alexander Historical Auctions)

And it's that photograph omg

(Source: The Richard D. Winters Collection, Box 18, the U.S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania.)

ETA: I feel obligated to add that we might want to take the authenticity of this with a grain of salt. Still, authentic or not, I guess this proves Dick was right when he predicted someone would pay a lot of money for Lewis' signature one day!
