I thank you. For what you are doing now, and for what you have done. My thank you spreads a million miles wide!
Please, comment here in this thread on how this affects you, gifts from home. What impact has this had in your life now? What impact did this have on you while you were serving our Country? I met a dear dear friend, his name is Albert. He's home now, Thank God, but I know from what he's told me, correspondence from home meant the world to him!
Thank you again for protecting me and my kids.
Nancy

I'm writing a note from my father. He passed away in 1973. He was an Air Force Sergeant, served in Vietnam.
I know my mom has said many times how the effect of the Homeland affected him greatly back then! There were no shoeboxes, and the home front wasn't so welcoming as we are now of our troops at war. I do remember Mom saying how just that letter from home, pictures, just anything would make his Month better, happier, stronger, and pulled him through some really rough times.
That's all I can do. Write a simple note here from my father, saying thank you to whom ever wrote that letter to him, and made him smile, and pulled him through a rough time. Thank you.

My dad fought in World War II in the South Pacific. I know it took a toll on him. He lost so many friends in fighter planes and bombers during the war that afterwards he refused to fly.
War takes a toll on those who fight it, and on those who are at home. Anything those of us at home can do to help lighten the burden of our soldiers overseas is well worth any price or sacrifice we can make.
