These 10 letters kids sent to deployed troops will make you smile
Words can’t be expressed how grateful deployed troops are when they receive care packages and letters from back home. A swarm of grown men and women will hover around them just to get whatever goodies they can out of them.
I’ve seen people fight over chocolate that made it through the trip (spoiler alert: there’s a one in a million chance it doesn’t melt on the way over). I’ve seen someone buy a pack of Girl Scout cookies for $50. I still wear a 550-cord band that I got in one of mine because a kid wrote that it’d keep me safe. I’m still here today so technically, you can’t prove the kid wrong.
The letters from the kids are the amazing. The letters fall somewhere between savage as f*ck to random as sh*t. These are some of the best from the Internet.
1. Thank you. Don’t Die
2. This ‘Merican AF dragon!
"I said consummate ‘v’s!
3. Call Me Maybe
And now we all have that song stuck in our heads… Thanks, Maddie.
4. My mom likes drinking wine
Awesome!
5. You rock more than AC/DC or Metallica, or Red Hot Chili Peppers
Kid knows AC/DC, Metallica, and Chili Peppers, even if he can’t spell them? Yeah. He’s probably going to enlist some day.
6. Thank you for fighting in the war
Don’t know if spelling error or not… But we do whatever it takes to keep our country proud of us!
7 Happy America Nut’s Kream
Meow America, indeed.
8. My Grandpa Bob was in the Navy and now he loves peanuts.
Peanuts. Yes, peanuts. Couldn’t possibly be anything else.
9. You’ll probably never get to see your family again
Thanks for caring, Donovan.
10. My dad said you guys are fighting a bunch of goat f*ckers.
For someone who doesn’t know what a goat f*cker is, Jack has some pretty good spelling and penmanship.
OMG, hilarious! Love that last one!
Love this. Gave me my smile of the day. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter saved all the good ones they got in Afghanistan. She was promoted to Major last week.
Hubby and I lol’ed hard at that last one. Sharing this with a Marine to see his reaction. He’ll love it.
Thank you for raising a great kid!!!
Started volunteering at Walter Reed during the Afghan war on the amputation ward, Ward 52.
My appreciation for our military is through the roof!
Volunteered at WR until the Scamdemic shut us down but looks like we may be getting to go back soon.
The only good thing about living in the DC area is being able to help out at Walter Reed.
Thank you. I needed the laugh. Haven’t had many since my wife passed.
I used to volunteer for Mended Hearts at 3 local hospitals. I had 4 bypasses. That ended with COVID as we weren’t allowed in to visit heart surgery patients.
