OMG Dolly. I am crying tears of thanksgiving here for this Marine and the thousands like him. Freedom is not free. I can never repay those who have paid such a price to secure it for me and my family. "Thank you" seems so inadequate.

Hi Star, I'll admit to crying to when I got it.. I kept it exactly as he wrote it..all upper case. Several things struck me in the letter. His joy of life. We all saw it on that first day when the picture hit the internet(and quickly became the screen saver for many of us). His openess and humility. His determination. He is much younger than me, but he can teach me a few things for sure.
