Thank you for posting this. The poor Obbink family, having lost Megan and her dad do tragically, and poor Sgt. Megee.
It's real easy for Guard soldiers to make that kind of personal connexion -- both to the folks at home and to the folks in-country.
I thought what the BC and his Sunday-School teacher wife did was a class act.
And let this be a message to the guys, too -- if you get an "any soldier" letter from a kid, write back. You could be doing a world of good.
In our FOB we had a lot of patriotic scribbles by five and seven year old hanging up all over the place... that, and a letter from Roger Donlon (the first MOH in our regiment, and the first in Vietnam). I dunno what COL (ret) Donlon would think that his was the only letter hanging up that was written by an adult!
d.o.l.

Oh my goodness. This made me cry. God bless that poor little girl, her father, and the family left behind.
That soldier is an excellent example of the best of the best this country has to offer. God bless him and all our troops.
