Letters to our troops

Someone pointed out this blog to me today http://combatarms.mu.nu/archives/057594.php and I thought it was a fabulous idea. So, if you're reading this, please write a letter of your own.

Dear Soldier,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your service on my behalf and on behalf of my family. It's easy for those of us safe at home to forget the sacrifices that have been made and are being made for us. But in reality we're warm and safe because brave men and women are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and the freedoms of others.

I know that it's not easy for you to leave behind friends and family and go overseas to fight an enemy you'd really never known before. And it's not easy for the loved ones you leave behind. But remember that in the long run it's more than worth it. And I, for one, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Oh, and if you're in my little brother's unit, please watch his back.

Thank you,

Handy
