As a former Soldier deployed to the Middle East, I say it would be wonderful to receive a letter like this. We used to get them sometimes from schools. Teachers would have their classes write us letters and some of them were great.
Yeah, I responded to a few. We would get them in the middle of freakin NOWHERE and I’d carry them around in my pocket. Made more difference than anyone could imagine.
Ewww, yeah, it stunk down there literally right?
They had fantastic amenities at Balad though. Four great difacs, gym, pool, Theatre, American fast food. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to be stationed.
I love this. I was recently cleaning out a drawer and found a piece of paper way in the back that was stuck in the drawer. It was one of my cub scout boys' letter to soldiers that we did about 15 years ago. I guess it didn't make it to the soldiers but it was such a sweet reminder. Those boys of mine (I have 3 boys and was den mom to 2 dens over the years) are young men now, some married, some with kids, and I miss those days. Only for about 5 min though
God bless you, your daughter and your family. I would like to say "Thank you". I no longer serve, but it is very INSPIRING! I'm really hoping my daughter wants to serve when she gets older, but I will not force it on her......
Blessings to your daughter, but blessings also to you, her parent(s), who brought her up right! Thank YOU for this service to our next generation of Americans. 🇺🇸
I am not a vet… I will tell you she and all the innocent is why I’m chin deep in this horror show… I wouldn’t change my position for another for anyone. I hold the line on behalf of my father, MSGT USAF ret/dec. Thank you… he would be truly honored and proud of your little lady! ~Protect my little lambs…~
the letter above was on her own and below is the envelope she tried to address.
Parenting win. Good work.

We had a whole wall of those types of letters in our HQ in Iraq. I’d stop and read them often, so precious.
Where in Iraq? I spent 3-1/2 years there & travelled all-over…
Camp Anaconda, Balad Air base
I was in Balad till we moved ops to Spicher/Tikrit. In Balad I was in trailers down by burn pit. Nasty!!

Perhaps my niece will write a similar letter when she learns how to write.
Tears, so sweet! You should be a proud parent!
thanks, I am proud. She is caring and strong, I pray I can keep her that way.

Out of the mouths of babes...so sweet...I bet those choppers love seeing her smiling face! <3 :-)
Awwww how sweet. What a kind child. May God bless her for the rest of her days.
How beautiful. I hope no one tries to steal her mind.
