Thank You
Thank you for going to Vietnam to help out the Americans. It meant a lot to us. Some people might of called you baby killer, or spat on you. But those people were not as brave as you were, and went to war.
We are just now learning about the Vietnam war and I think it was sad.

I have never met you but I want you to know that your patriotism and dedication is inspiring to all. Every American should strive to have the same characteristics that you have displayed. Thank you for all that you have done. You will not be forgotten.
