Dear Letter Writers,
In my son's letters home today he requested that we write one of his fellow SRs because he hasn't received any letters yet.
We did.
However, I posted this on the FB thread for those willing to write him a letter to contact me through messaging- and I would be more than glad to share his mailing information. So far there's like 12 or so who've volunteered- some have already sent letters.
It makes me very sad to hear that there is someone who might be without letters.
message me if you want that information, please.
Im hoping we can make his day(s)!

I would like to write a letter to this young man also. I know that my son said that the letters are getting him thru all this. I could not imagine him not getting any.
Let me know
Thanks

Both of my children are sailors. When they were in boot camp, I wrote a letter of encouragement to a random person in their respective divisions. I put the letter in an envelope and included it with a letter to my sailors asking them to give the letter to anyone in their division who had not received mail. Both kids said that the recruits who received my letters were very appreciative. I also included a sports article from a magazine. My son-in-law is currently in boot camp at Great Lakes and I've done the same with him. It only takes a moment to give someone a kind word. I would have wanted someone to do the same for my kids.

Im not sure, but I believe this recruit was going to graduate today. I do not know if he got any of the letters or cards sent because he was moved to another division.
I hope he's a proud proud sailor today!
God Bless
