My pap was not a sharpshooter but ho was an airplane mechanic for when the airplanes had got

shot or went down. He told me when I was young that you had to be a really good engineer to be

part of the armies groups. His friend was a sharp shooter who got tones of medals, he was

unbelievable. My pap loves to shoot guns and RIFLES, everyone gets those mixed up, I guess

they are not true shooters. My pap also told me if you don't call your rifle a rifle you will get in

some big trouble. Oh, I did't forget thanks for serving my country and helping us win the true rights.

This is for every solider out there fighting in Iraq thanks!

Veteran experience:   Hello, my name is Ty and I am going to thank you through this letter. I am writing

this paper for my seventh grade English class. I am also writing this letter to thank you.

I like playing piano. I am in the honor choir for our school and last year I played the  accompaniment for a

girl in my class while she sang the song.(it was Colors of the Wind). Also, I am in the Eco Team and we

went to Eco Meet just a month ago, where we  came in 9th place. I was also in the Eco Team Last year

where we placed 8th.  Your serving in the military has made our lives so much easier. It has brought peace

throughout the nation. It has helped us achieve so many things. I hope that it will stay this way and we will

keep achieving more because of you serving in the military.

Thank you once again. I send best wishes from my family and me to your family and you.

thank you for serving our country and making the great sacrifices for us. To everyone, you are a hero and

they look up to you everyday.

Here is a little bit about me. In my meantime I love to dance and cheer. I like playing with my yorkie named

Your sacrifice has made my life easier greatly. I can automatically know that I am in a safe place and there

are people out there who won't let anyone damage or destroy our homes. Without you and your army, we might

have to do what people want us to do. We could have a king and queen to order us around and we would not

have the right to be free. You do not know how much you mean to all of us.

I just want to thank you again for doing everything you have done. I hope you have a great future and all of

my best wishes are out to you.

Veteran experience: Dear Soldier,
Hello i would like to thank you for serving our country.  I hope you guys will come back soon so you can

be with your families.  I the kid who likes war games but I'm sure the real thing is horrifying. My choice for life

is to join the army when i get older so maybe some day your grandchildren will be sending me one of these. 

 I am very educated in the terms of old war such as ww2 but not the new technologies.  I'm sure its so hard to

 do what you guys are doing.  I'm sorry i couldn't send you anything but I did forget. 
                                                                 Thank You,
                                                               Jonathan.
