Sherry:  A great idea!  Be sure that if a class writes to the division members, they put the letters in a large envelope and address it to your SR.  RTC will not deliver letters addressed in general to the SRs of a division....a particular SR's name has to be on the envelope and then that SR can pass out the letters.  Have them put a return address on their individual letters since many of these SRs will write back!

Ruth:  Here is the special offers page for Southwest:

And, no, you don't sound like an idiot!  :-)  Please ask any questions you like! 

When my son was at bootcamp, I called a couple of his favorite teachers and asked if they could write to him.  He had been out of high school for about 5 yrs, but he really liked these teachers.  One had a son his age in the Army so she was happy to do this---the other one was too.  It meant alot to him.  So if your child has any mentors in his life who you would like to write to him/her, be sure to ask!  You would be surprised at how many would be happy to write to your SR!

Catmom509 that's my thoughts exactly! Immeasurably more than we could ask for or imagine.   This reminds me of the day my son left for MEPS. He had to go 3 different times, 1st- for original testing, 2nd-had to come back for x-rays, 3rd-for final night before heading to DFW to fly to IL. One of his fears was having to fly alone (although he has flown several times, just never alone). The first two times he went only 1 person each time was leaving for boot camp...alone. After we prayed about this God answered. He was to leave on his flight Wednesday morning. The weather was bad in Dallas and all of the other recruits from the previous days flights were delayed until WEDNESDAY (which is HIGHLY unusual for Dallas)...leaving him 10 OTHER RECRUITS to fly with. Crazy cool huh?  This told me that even when I couldn't take care of my son God could, and would, and DID. Immeasurably more than I could have asked for imagined. I thought 1 would have been nice...he answered 10 fold. Sometimes He gives us up front something we need to help carry us through until the end. I was never "in control" of the situation anyways, but HE was. I heard it loud and clear.

I just put a post on FB asking if any of my "teacher friends" would be interested in "helping me with a little project". I asked if their class would write to DIV 139 to be sure everyone knows that they are supported and appreciated. I hope I get a big reply!!!! Yes, both my husband and myself are unemployed so driving is pretty much the only option we have. I surely don't mind a road trip, especially for this!!! It'll take about 13-14 hours if the roads are in good condition. That will be so fun to surprise him with grandma!!!  That's really cool.
