Letter to Veteran


Author's Note- I wrote this letter to a World War II veteran that was recently on an Honor Flight. Each veteran on that flight received an old fashioned mail call and a letter that someone had wrote to them. It felt really good to be a part of the honor flight and to thank the men and women who served.
Dear World War II Veteran,   
        I don’t know very much about World War II but I do know that you have sacrificed a great amount to ensure our country would remain free, like it is today. Without you, how would America be today? I can only assume the worst but luckily our country had you and many others protecting us.
        I have always wanted an opportunity to thank a veteran of war, besides my dad. Now that I have this chance to do so, I am grateful and excited. Even though I’m only a kid, I hope my letter brings you happiness and makes you realize how important you are.
        Once again, I am sincerely thankful for your service. But not only for you time; for the determination, courage, and selflessness you have shown.
        Sincerely,
Sarah Kaderavek
