Transcription

Dear Soldiers, It is Christmas and you are far form home, suffering from cold not knowing when you will die. The big shots are home enjoying themselves, eating good food, drinking good liquor. Why should you be here risking your life for their profits? The Koreans and Chinese don't want to be your enemies. Our enemies and yours are those who sent you here and destroyed your happines. Soldiers! Let's join hands! You belong back home with those who love you and want you back safe and sound. So we wish you....
