I haven't done a "Letter From Children" in awhile. I got this one in the mail just yesterday, along with some other great stuff. The contents made me start to cry, especially as I read this letter. ...

Doctor Quinn, Medicine Man

Getting letters in combat from kids is just like medicine. I didn't get this letter until after we had taken Baghdad and things were settling down. As you can see from the date, it was written the day ...

Looking For A Date

Monday, October 17th, 2005 Posted in Letters From Children | 8 Comments »

I haven't done one of these in awhile and since my last post wasn't as uplifting, I'd thought I'd follow it with this one. I've also got a great story from the military too, which will be posted later ...

Getting Hurt….Hurts

Thursday, September 8th, 2005 Posted in Letters From Children | 4 Comments »

I haven't done one of these in awhile, but a phone call from a reporter in Arkansas interviewing me about letters written by students at his school reminded me. A few weeks ago, when I started doing this, I ...

Must…make it…home…

Thursday, August 18th, 2005 Posted in Letters From Children | 9 Comments »

This letter kind of scared me a little bit. I recieved it about 5 days before the war. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about this letter caused a little bit of anxiety. ...

Crazed Nut Cases

There are no limits to what children will say in their letters. I think that since they are writing to people they'll never meet, they say what they're really thinking. Mike wanted to make sure that I knew ...

Permission Granted

Sometimes the command leadership can be a little slow to respond to certain things. Sometimes they respond BEFORE anything actually happens. It can be confusing. Luckily, there are kids out there will to give us the direction ...

Meet William and Madison, young patriots and supporters of our military. Their mom Paulette sent me this picture and wanted me to know how much their kids are grateful for what we do as soldiers. So, to show ...

Nostradamus

I got a few letters similar to this. A lot of kids know about war but don't understand it. Shoot, most of us don't even really understand it. This was a cute letter that reminded me of ...

Are Soldiers People?

Sunday, July 31st, 2005 Posted in Letters From Children | 5 Comments »

Sometimes I think that children look at soldiers almost as Gods or untouchables. We are placed on this high pedestal and looked up to to the point that we can't relate. I got this letter shortly before the ...

Another New Feature

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 Posted in Letters From Children | 5 Comments »

While I was in Kuwait and Iraq, I got a lot of mail. A lot of the mail wasn't even addressed to me. When we'd visit the Red Cross room on Camp Doha, I'd always look through the ...
