Blog Prompt:On September 29, 1789, the U.S. Congress passed an act that officially established the U.S. Military. What would you write in a letter to a serviceman or servicewoman who is currently serving our country overseas.
Dear Sailor, Soldier or Airman:
I am aware that today one of you missed your daughter's birthday party or your anniversary. Or the family reunion where all of your loved ones gathered, except you. You didn't get to the watch your alma mater's big game or take your son to his first soccer tournament. You weren't there when your mother had surgery or your father got that award from his company. These are sacrifices that you didn't have to make, but you did. Know that I and millions of other Americans appreciate how difficult these days are for you and we wish you the best. Know also that prayers are continually raised to the Father on your behalf that you will remain safe and find yourself home soon. God bless you.
Sincerely,
A Fellow American Patriot
