A MOMS LETTER TO HELP HER RECRUIT ~ Great read

We've all gone through this experience of the first letter arriving. Although it's been about 4-1/2 years since he went through boot camp, all of the letters Michael sent are in a special place and I can still remember how excited I was when we got that letter. Where he's at now it isn't as easy contact-wise, but thank heavens for emails. When he's busy and we don't hear anything it makes for a tough day(s) and they're hard to get through sometimes. But, the minute I get on the computer in the a.m. I always check my emails to see if he was able to send one. Not the same as the old days of pen/paper but I'll take what I can cause you really don't have a choice......

Plus, now that you know his letter came on Thursday, you can start stalking the mailman on every Thursday...as that is when all letters should arrive!
