Thank You

I never had the opportunity to meet you, so you are probably wondering why I am writing on your behalf. I just want to take a few minutes and thank you for what you did for this country. You are a hero in my eyes. You gave all that you could possibly give, you life. I just want to let you know I deeply appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Jamie Gilmore
