Book Cover & Preview Text
MAAG Formosa December 29, 1951 Jean Darling: I don't know why, but I just received your wire late yesterday afternoon that the baby girl had been born and have been trying ever since to get a call through, though I know you are home from the hospital now. The wire came through Yokohama, Japan, and those fools instead of relaying it down here sent it by regular mail so it arrived over a week late. I reported it to Colonel Worthington and he is pretty much up in the air over it as I understand it has happened a couple of other times recently. I hope you didn't think I just neglected to call as I really wanted to talk to you as soon as possible after it happened.

About the Book
In May of 1951, at the age of thirty-two, Art “Moe” Mosier was deployed to Taipei, Formosa, for an eighteen-month tour during the Korean War with the Army. Married just twenty months, he left his wife, Jean, and his eleven-month-old daughter behind in Wisconsin until his return in September of 952.
In All My Love, author Theresa Mosier Larson, the youngest of Moe and Jean’s children, shares a collection of letters her father wrote home while stationed in what is now known as Taiwan. In his correspondence, Moe expresses thoughts and feelings about his job in a foreign country and the loneliness of being separated from his family during a time of war.
Written in a time before computers and the internet, Moe’s letters show insight into one man’s integrity as he seeks to stay in touch with his family across the world.
