Valentines Day

Valentines Day is seen by many as the consumer holiday to force you to buy a five dollar card to show that special someone how much you love them.  I hope this will change the minds of many of you.  Mrs. Ovitz's Third grade class at Janesville Union School made Valentines for our Warriors.  I have attached three pictures but must say each card is not only individual but also a pop-up card.  I applaud the time, effort, and thought that each student put into their card.  They are truly amazing.  I am excited  and honored to mail these Valentines out and can hardly wait for our Warriors to see what I see.

A Giant Thank You To Mrs. Ovitz's and her Third Graders

A Veteran's Day Thank You

This is a display made from letters I sent to the USO in Qatar.  The USO is a place where soldiers go for R&R (rest and recovery.) The letters are from Mrs. Bricker's Third Grade class.  The pictures are of my children in front of our "Warrior Wall" which consist of pictures sent by soldiers we have supported, and the Veteran's Day Parade in Susanville, California.  


The Third Grade letters were sent to the USO in Qatar, and to soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.  So far we have received responses from three different soldiers.  Two soldiers were Army, and one was Air Force.  They were happy to answer the children's questions.
