Thank You

Many people in this county say that they are patriotic. You showed your patriotism with action. Many say that they love this country. You showed your love with service. Many say that they would die for this country. You did so. You made that sacrifice, and you paid that price that oftentimes is necessary to preserve the freedoms and values represented by this country. Through the Gridley High School posting project, my history class at Gridley High School is currently ensuring that not one soldier who paid that price is forgotten. Let this remembrance reinforce the fact that you will not be forgotten. This country is in your debt because of your sacrifice. For your service, and that sacrifice, I thank you.

Thank You

Dear John,
I am a student from Gridley High School located in Gridley, IL. We are posting remembrances for a class project and to honor those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. This project is the Gridley High School Posting Project.
I am indebted to you for your service to this nation. You fought to the death because of the beliefs that you knew this nation stood for. You fought for all those that you knew. But most importantly, you fought for yourself and your band of brothers. Thank you for your fighting. You were a great soldier.
