Dear Ingrid,
Hi my name is Vanessa M. I'm 14 years old. I know how you feel that you can't see your family. My brother and my brother's girlfriend are in the Air Force. My brother can't come down for Christmas, and he couldn't come down for Thanksgiving. I miss him so much. I just want to say thank you for all that you are doing for our country.
Merry Christmas
And
Happy New Year

Dear Ingrid,
My name is Isabella. I know we don't know each other, but you seem like a great person. Anyone with the courage to be in the armed forces and you're in Iraq. I think that is very courageous. Especially since you have to be away from you're family and loved ones. I hope that you get to come back to you're family as soon as you can. I saw a picture of you on Mrs. Worden's computer and you are very young! Well I want you to know that I am very grateful for everything you are doing for me and for the people who don't have the freedom that we do. So thank you so much for everything you're doing and will do. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!!
Sincerely,
Isabella S.


Dear Ingrid,
My name is Andrew. I go to Oakridge Middle School and I am in 8th grade.
We don't know each other but that is okay. I have family that is in Iraq. I know that u probably have many cool stories to tell about what has been going on in Iraq. I think that it is very courageous that u are in Iraq. I know that It can be dangerous to be in Iraq, Because my cousin got shot 3 times. So good luck in Iraq. I hope u have a merry Christmas and New Year.
Your Home Boy,
Andrew


Dear Ingrid,
My name is Victor C. and I think that you should take a rest for all the hard labor you put forth. I really appreciate what you're doing for this country, moving and delivering things to other bases. Traveling on the road during war, it takes a really brave and humble person to do that. I give the best of wishes to you. Go USF
Sincerely yours,
Victor C.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
