Dear Soldier:

We can never adequately repay you and your family for your sacrifice and dedication. We think of you all every day and fly our flag proudly because of you.

After 9/11, so many of us were scared until our husbands reminded us that the military of the United States would keep us safe.

May God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Kindest regards,
Peach
