It is so refreshing to see qualities such as - love of country, bravery, self sacrifice, doing the right thing - being written of without self consciousness. Hank is the tip of the left wing iceberg, all of them squirm when people write about these qualities. Not nuanced enough I suppose. I am an Australian and I unashamedly admire these qualities. I'm nearly as proud of US forces as I am of the Oz military. Merry Christmas to them all. <strong><em>Carol: Hi youcancallmemeyer!  Thanks for your kind words and for visiting all the way from Australia!  :-)</em></strong>  The teachers of these children should be proud of them.

Even when it is children. Thanks Carol for posting these. Was referred here by lgf, and have to agree that reading the childrens comments got me misty eyed also. I keep thinking about what a soldier will be able to take away from them. <strong><em>Carol: I hope the soldiers will understand after reading the letters that there is a strong base of support for them in the United States.
