Dear Salior,

For your service, your strength, your encouragement I give thanks.

Over seas, miles away, days and nights I give thanks.

May he show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you favor because

you have done this.

Your are brave, you are strong, a fighter, and a leader.

Your qualities are something I wish to be over time.

The holidays are near and you are so far from home, but just know your home

and family are closer than you know.

In your heart you will find love from family, friends and love from someone you

won't even know.

A stranger who prays in hopes you're okay.

A stranger who is near at heart and will fight for you to.

I give thanks for all that you do, for I may never meet you but I love you for you.
