Government efficiency at its finest. These are the people we want running our healthcare?

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A World War II-era letter mailed to a soldier’s sister at a Red Cross hospital is finally headed for its intended recipient.

The letter was postmarked from Montgomery on Aug. 9, 1944, and addressed to a Miss R.T. Fletcher at an American Red Cross hospital at Camp Roberts, California. There was no return address.

It was delivered in February to the camp’s historical museum. The postal service couldn’t explain what delayed the letter. [emphasis added — FMP]

The story received worldwide publicity after the museum contacted the Montgomery Advertiser.

The newspaper reported Friday that Fletcher’s daughter had come forward. She said her mother, who is 90, was a Red Cross volunteer at the hospital.

The letter was from Fletcher’s brother, who has died. The daughter plans to hand-deliver the letter to her mother.

It’s worth remembering that while the president was ramming Obamacare down the throats of the American people in 2009, he said government-run healthcare would be like the U.S. Post Office. In light of this story, don’t you feel better about Obamacare now?
