One of my friends who I train with (Aikido) is married to a Green Berret. He's done two tours there (at least). He's home now thank higher power great pumpkin of your choice.

Anyway he said that a lot of these kids don't get letters from home, they may be estranged from family or in some cases family members do not know how to write Others the family is close and literate...but so scared it freezes them and they don't write.

For whatever reason some don't get mail.

The comanding officer will know who gets mail often and who doesn't. He or she will make sure these troops get mail.

So these types of letter drives are a great way of letting them know we care back home. Keep doing this.
