YOU ARE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN,

YOU HAVE SEEN BATTLE AND FOUGHT BRAVELY IN WAR.

YOU HAVE SEEN YOU FRIENDS DIE IN FRONT OF YOU,

AND EVEN WHEN YOU WERE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO,

YOU HUNG IN THERE AND FOUGHT FOR AMERICA,

YOU FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM.

YOU WERE IN WARS LIKE WORLD WAR ONE AND WORLD WAR

TWO, AND VIETNAM.

YOU WERE IN THE NAVY, AIRFORCE,ARMY,AND MANY OF

YOU WERE INJURED IN BATTLE AND THOSE OF YOU WHO

WERE NOT CAME HOME WITH NIGHTMARES.

MOST OF YOU WERE YOUNG WHEN YOU WENT OFF TO WAR,

WHAT YOU FOUND WAS A SCARY WORLD WHERE YOU DID

NOT KNOW WETHER YOU WERE GONG TO LIVE OR DIE.

YOU MADE STRONG FRIENDSHIPS FOR LIFE.

AND UNBELIEVEABLE MEMORIES FOR LIFE.

MY FATHER WAS A PLIOT, WHO WAS FLYING IN VIETNAM

HE WAS VERY YOUNG MAN,

FAR FROM HOME, IN A STRANGE COUNTRY BUT HE WAS

FRIENDLY SO HE QUICKLY MADE FRIENDS.

MY FATHER'S BEST FRIEND WAS ANOTHER YOUNG MAN

NAMED JOE, A FRIGHTENED YOUNG PLIOT WHO CERDIT'S

MY DAD WITH SAVING HIS LIFE.

THE TWO MEN ARE STILL FRIENDS TODAY,

MY DAD HAS HAD MANY GOOD JOBS AND A FAMILY.

JOE ALSO HAD A FAMILY AND HE WRITES CARTOONS AND CHILDREN'S BOOKS.

THE GROUP DOING FOR OTHER'S ASKED ME TO WRITE TO

YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING A DONATION TO YOU.

WE ARE ALL DISABLED ADULTS AND WE LIKE GIVING BACK

TO THE COMMUNITY.WE WORK AT COMMUNITY

EXPERIENCE,122 MAIN STREET WATERTOWN MASS.

LOVE,
DOING FOR OTHERS AND KERRI
