Dear Brave Children:
It is easy to see why you are so brave. You take after your brave mommy or daddy. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for sharing your family with us to serve and protect our country. I know it can be lonesome sometime without them but just know that you can be very proud to say: "My Mommy/Daddy protects our country each day, what does your mommy/daddy do?" Please continue to be brave and know that you are not alone. My son serves our country also and I know how very proud I am of him. Please keep up the biggest job you can have which is being brave and strong just like your family. God Bless!

To our all the children who have parents that are serving to protect America,we want you to know that you have our deepest gratitude for your bravery and courage. Even though you might see people arguing about the war on TV, we all support your parents and you for the sacrifices you are making. We understand that it is incredibly difficult to have your mother or father away for such a long time and we hope you understand that our hopes, prayers, and wishes are with you and your parents. Just remember, what your family is doing is keeping all of us safe and secure. That is no small accomplishment! God bless you for keeping our families safe.
