The letter reads in part, “I’ve had 3 surgeries, too many hospital visits to count, one surgery is to remove a tumor on the back of my brain.”
It goes on to say, “I’ve been through some tough stuff, but I’m still fighting strong. I hope you keep fighting strong...I wish I could meet you one day”.

Wow. What a wonderful antidote to all the anti-war barf that we usually have to wade through. This story just made my day. Thanks for posting it.

This is a great story, and a tribute to our youth, and our fighting men.
"Recently, his school decided they would write to Navy SEALs fighting overseas in Iraq."
Kudos as well to the school administration for this!

Thanks for the post.
Great Teacher: for getting the kids to write the Seals.
Great Kid: for being able to maintain a positive attitude
during his illness.
Great Military Man: for responding to, and supporting the Kid.
Great Small businessman: for donating money and materiels to the Kid.
Great Media (at least this time): for reporting the story without any apparent negative assertions about President Bush and the War.
All in all, a great way to start my morning. (Now, if the darn screen would clear up ... )
