More Thank Yous to Our Veterans!

Due to overwhelming response at www.myveteransday.org, we will be posting Thanks Yous in batches to the Museum blog.

(Note that many of these were submitted by teachers on behalf of their students so what appears to be multiple thank yous by the same person are actually whole classrooms of young people expressing their gratitude!)

Thanks to my father (now decased) who served in the 84th Infantry during WWII. He survived the Battle of the Bulge, and returned home to PA to build a life and raise a family. He never spoke of the hardships of War. He was proud of his country and his service to it.

Thank you for all the veterans who fight in war today. I also would like to thank all of the past veterans who have died fighting for our freedom. My social studies class is giving back to all of the veterans that have fought in the war by writing thoughtful letters. Thank you for risking your lives for this country. I appreciate everything that you have done for us and I will make sure to keep you in my prayers.
