Dear Mom,
I've only got a minute or two, so this is gonna have to be short.
I had to break my promise to you, but I can't think of anything else I could have done and stayed a man. When the aliens started landing at Tinian, Baron put out a call for any pilot that wasn't already doing something else important to get to one end of the military field; turns out that, besides the extra squadrons that got moved in to guard the launch, the EDTO had stockpiled a lot of fighters on the island.
He wanted volunteers to fly them, to help protect the island while the Macross took the military squadrons up to attack the mothership.
I couldn't say no.
Most of us... didn't make it long enough to land again. I made ace, but I can't help remembering what Dad said, about knowing that the enemy were guys just like him. I don't know what these aliens are like, but I wish it hadn't been this way.
The Macross's coming back; the word is that it's gonna fold away, to try and support ARMOR-3, and since this is the first try they're going to do it as close to their test runs as possible.
Nobody knows what that'll do to Tinian.
Just in case... I hope I've made you proud. I love you.

"Yes, and it was glorious."
