Hi everyone,
My son is Ship 03 Div 328 All I have received from him was the form letter on his graduation date August 30th. Did anyone receive a letter yet written by your child? I write my son everyday and mail it every 3 days. I had a writing party with his friends and fed them dinner then they wrote letters to him. I also put a event on my Face book to invite anyone who would like to write letters to our sons/daughters in this group and share encouraging words. The over whelming response is unbelievable. I copy and paste the messages to the letter I'm writing. I just posted this event Tuesday and yesterday I mailed out 6 pages. About 10 messages on each page. WOW...I'm impressed how many people care about our Military.
Proud Mama here
