I created a fictionalized version of my grandfather as the character I am writing a letter as. He is a navy soldier (sort of) but mainly just a late twenties recruit working for the 17th Task Force during the Battle of Midway in June of 1942 (the Task Force 17 was aboard the USS Yorktown, the only US carrier sunk that day).
He is sending the letter about 6 months later, retelling his story of survival, the letter is dated October 13th, 1942, one day before the attack on Henderson Field, which he references as to be temporarily stationed (he dies the next day).
