Dear Soldier,
First of all, I send a sincere “Thank you” from me to you. I really am very truly thankful for everything you’ve done for our country. Personally, my Mother was a Marine many years ago and fought in something I can’t even remember. However I’ve heard her stories and I thought she was noble. Therefore you must also be quite brave. I don’t even think you would have had to fight a war to be brave, just signing the enlistment papers made you brave. What branch do you serve for? Whatever it is I’m sure that branch is proud to have you as a part of their team!
Thank You
Your American Friend,
