Fayette Senior Services (FSS) – Peachtree City location at The Gathering Place, 203 McIntosh Trail: Nearly 70 years after they were written, a young soldier’s words are finally finding their way home. Ben Gross, a 95-year-old Korean War veteran living in Peachtree City, is reminiscing on times past and sharing his story on being reunited with more than two dozen letters he wrote to his family while serving overseas in 1952 and 1953. At the time, Gross was a 21-year-old North Dakota farm boy describing daily life during the war and thanking his family for small comforts like homemade cookies. His brother had saved the letters for decades and eventually mailed them back to him, but the package broke apart during transit. Now, the U.S. Postal Service is delivering the letters one by one, each still sealed in its original envelope. What was meant to be a single delivery has turned into a powerful, piece-by-piece reunion with a young soldier’s memories and a remarkable piece of history.
