Letter to the Editor

As I look at the world outside of our beautiful country I am saddened at the hatred directed at our citizens and our country that affect us all. I am in disbelief and feel disgust that terrorist groups are able to commit unbelievable acts of violence against innocent human beings without remorse or conscience.

I am grateful today for our American service men and women. What great people these are. How lucky we are to have them helping to keep us safe at home. I constantly think how we as Americans can show our gratitude to these young men and women who would much rather be at home with their families instead of in a strange country thousand miles away being shot at by people who hate us and seek to destroy our country.

One letter of thanks from each of us to a soldier in Iraq, Afghanistan or other remote place is a small effort to pay for the great personal sacrifices these protectors of our nation and their families make in our behalf. The address that you can use may be found on the website www.anysoldier.com.
