Dear Bulldogs,

I think you are brave people because you are in the Army. Thank you so much for helping America. Now I am going to tell you about me. I am 9 years old and a girl. I love sports — I play basketball, tennis and I love soccer because my dad coaches soccer.

I have a brother and a sister Josiah and Kassandra. My mom is from America and my dad is from Europe. My favorite color is green. I have a lot of friends. I have a pet bird his name is Larry he is a cockatiel. My grampa is a veteran he was in the Army. I live in Caribou Maine 04736.

Dear Bulldogs,

Thank you. I hope you guys stay safe and I hope you guys win the war. I wish I could see you guys in person but I can’t because, I live in Maine at Caribou and I’m at school at Teague Park.School. I’m playing basketball. I like it and I also use to play soccer but I didn’t like it so I quit it. Some day I’m going to join the Army. I want to really, really bad, but mom doesn’t want me to but I don’t care what she thinks because I want to protect this country and other countries as well and states, so tuff on her. I’m also trying to join the Scouts but mom is trying to come with excuses so she can’t pick me up from it when it’s done. Good luck, stay safe. You guys are heroes, too.

Dear Werewolves,

Thank you for doing what you are doing. Stay safe you are awesome. You are heroes because you are sacrificing your life for others. My name is Jasmine and I like to go to school. I like to do math and we are studying about heroes. I think this is important because to learn what others do for us is part of being American. I’m thinking about you and hope you will be safe. I am 10 years old, and I have an older sister and she is 15. Her name is Breanna.

Dear Werewolves,

How ya doing. I’m not sure what branch you’re in. You probably don’t know my dad, Jason Matheson, but if you do, he said ‘hi’. I live in Aroostook County, Caribou, Maine. Do you think you could come to my house in one of your humvees and yell “Kameryn Matheson, come with us!” It would be really funny and it would scare him hysterically. It would be a VERY good prank. We got a new puppy yesterday; its name is Sig. My cat’s fur stood on end and her tail got at least one inch thicker. She looked at me like I was crazy. My cat’s name is Vivian. My great dane, Samson, ran one hundred mph. In school, I’m in fourth grade and in ninth grade reading.

Your friend,
Brandyn

P.S. If you do the prank, I’d drive him around town and back.

Dear Archangles,

Hi my name is Tiernan. I hope you get lucky and win the war. My uncle is a colonel in the war his name is Mark. When I grow up I will be in the Army. Do you work in a tank, fighter plane or a type of war boat or war sub? You are brave to go into the war. Thank you for fighting for our freedom. I like soccer. I won three games. Another of my uncles gave me a .22 when I was in Rhode Island. So be Lucky, bye.

Dear Charlie Rock,

Hi my name is Parker. I hope you are safe. I know a lot about you guys because my uncle Gary was in the war and three of my uncles were National Guards. I’ll ask them to tell me some stories. So how did you get your team name? Thank you, thank you for fighting for our freedom. So just to let you know my brother is stronger than me. So I was wondering when you write if you could write a note to him and tell him to leave me alone.

Your Friend,
Parker

Dear Werewolves,

Thank you soldiers for defending our country and I hope you win the war and also what’s the Navy. Also are you getting the Marine that’s from Halo. And what’s a Veteran and I live in Maine. And also why are you called werewolves?

Your Friend,
Zach

Hello Zach,

Thank you for writing to the Werewolves! My name is Specialist Walsh. I read your letter and wanted to tell you it was nice to read. It put a smile on my face. I have been in Afghanistan for 6 months. We are called the Werewolves because every group of Soldiers has their own name. I don’t know the history of the name behind it but I think we are strong like Werewolves!

Zach, you are the man! It looks like you are a Halo player. I play Halo also. Have you played Halo Reach? That is my favorite Halo game. We have cool gear just like the Marines!

I grew up in Colorado. It has lots of mountains just like Afghanistan. Do you any mountains in Maine? Do you play sports? I play baseball.

Thank you for writing to me. Pay attention in class and have fun. You look like a good group of kids.

Thanks for writing.

Specialist Eric Walsh

Dear Charlie Rock,

I hope you stay safe even though I don’t know you. You are a hero to me. My grampy was in the war his name is John but he’s not in the warm anymore. My dad watches war movies. You must be very brave to fight for our country. I’m so lucky for you to fight for me and my family and my friends and the world. I am not as brave as you. I like to rollerskate with my best friend. My dad says he was in the war but I know he was not because he can’t hurt a fly. He can’t even get a moose in hunting season.

Your Friend,
Heather

Dear Bulldogs,

You must be the coolest person ever. And thank you for serving for us. You guys are some of the coolest people in the world. And right now I’m in fourth grade and we were thinking to write a letter because you guys are awesome. It’s 11:35 in the morning. By the way my favorite color is green, blue, pink and purple. I have two pets a dog named Riley and a cat named Peanut. They’re both girls and I love playing basketball and soccer. Oh and I’m a girl and I’m nine. And can you come to my house and bring my dog the biggest bone ever. Thank you for serving us.
