Dear Soldier

I love you very much. You’re so cute. I like the way you talk. You’re very very nice to me sometimes. And sometimes you don’t talk to me at all. You’re my best guy in the whole world. You are loving all the time, and you are so sweet.

I think you are in the desert. I think it’s sandy. The desert is a lot like me. I am thirsty. My hair is the color of sand. My sandbox is very fun to play with. You are very lovely, soldier, I like the way you save our world.

Love, Carolyn (age 4 1/2, Greensburg PA)Dear Soldier (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)

We sometimes get the kids to send letters and pictures via anysoldier.com. This is the latest.
