Second-graders' letters tell airman why he's a hero (A Real Pick Me UP!)
Arizona Daily Star ^

Posted on 04/01/2006 12:11:11 PM PST by SandRat

Note: The following letters were among the 25 written on March 13 to be compiled into a book for Air Force Senior Airman Angel Montes. The book was presented to Montes when he visited Jody Gallagher's second-grade class at Gallego Elementary School. Some spelling and punctuation have been corrected.

It's copyrighted suff but well worth the click.

It is good to see a school promoting pro-American values these days. It would not shock me to see some teacher having kids write to 'insurgents' to tell them why they think they are heros.

I try to find things for the most part that pick up everyone's spirit or get the truth out. Course sometimes I have to just act like a nut and be silly to stay sane.
