Thank you for fighting for our country and thank you for protecting the US. You are a brave man. I am proud to have an uncle like you. You have helped all Americans keep their freedom. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I feel safe in the United States because you fought for our country. I just wanted to write this letter to honor you for Veterans Day.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Ismael,
Thank you for those wonderful words you wrote I cannot begin to tell you how your letter has brought so much joy and pride to my heart. I was proud to wear the uniform while I served our country and reading your letter has made me even prouder!!! I hope and pray that some day we will never need a military or wars to keep our freedom sacred and safe, that men and women of our country will never have to leave their families to fight in wars.
I am sending you a medal that I was given for serving in Iraq. It represents everything you wrote to me about, our freedom, our safety and how we helped another country achieve the same.
I often wondered if anyone appreciated Veterans Day and what it represented and now I know that there are.
Thank you Ismael for taking the time and writing your thoughts.
I hope we see you soon!!!
