I would like to share a letter with you that we received in the office on November 29, 2007. It's from an 11-year-old boy in California. He sent the letter to our office so we could include it in a care package to any Marine in Iraq. Please share this with your sons and daughters to let them know their sacrifice does not go unnoticed.

If your Marine would like to write back to Jake, please have him/her address the letters to our office and we will forward them to Jake:

Dear Warriors,

My name is Jake R. I'm a student at ____ Middle School. I appreciate all the sacrifices that all the men and women in uniform make to keep us safe at home. My uncle has told me about his time served in Vietnam. I hope that the politicians let you finish what you have started. I know how important it is for the U.S. to be successful, not just for the Iraqi people but for the safety and security of the whole world. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you in this important time in history. May God watch over all of you and return you all safely.

Your friend and Supporter,
Jake R., 11 years old
