  "At the request of the President, I write to inform you that, the Purple Heart has been awarded posthumously to your son, Pfc. William J. Morrs, Infantry, who sacrificed his life in defense of his country.

We profoundly appreciate the greatness of your loss, for in a very real sense the loss suffered by any of us in this battle for our country, is a loss shared by all of us. When the medal, which you will shortly receive, reaches you, I want you to know that with it goes my sincerest sympathy, and the hope that time and the victory of our cause will finally lighten the burden of your grief."
