Hey i know thanksgiving must have been real hard for you...trying to be thankful without your parents...but if you think aobut it your parents are doing something great for eveyone so thats something to be thanksful for next time you talk to your parents tell them theres a lot of people thinking aobut them and were real thankful
hey..well i can't even begin to understand how it must feel like to watch your parents going off to war and not knowing when they will return. but i remember watching my dad walk out of my house when my parents split up and i remember thinking wow he's really leaving. there was an emptiness inside of me that i could say now still and never will be replaced. i didnt speak or hear from him for 3 years and i never knew anything about his whereabouts. i mean thats no comparison to him going off to war but just know that there are others out there just like you who are dealing with the same thing. and remember your parent(s) are heros and they are serving our country for better life for us and future generations. if ya wanna talk jus lemme know.
Seeing someone you love go into danger is extremely hard. I know because I had a somewhat similar instance to what you are going through now. Dont worry! Everything will be ok. I know it sounds cliche', but trust me. If ever you need someone to talk to, please contact me. I am more than happy to try to help.
Hi my name is Marialena Cordero and I am 14 years old. I live in Brooklyn New York. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you. Your mother/father is over in iraq risking their life for us and I am so thankful. My stepfather was in the navy until they told him he had to many dependents. I know how you feel because I know many people that are in Iraq and I know many people that lost their lives. THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART <3.[EMAIL]mariisosexii@aol.com

My name is Elise and I know you guys are going through a rough time with your parent(s) at war but just remember that they are doing this to benefit everyone. They want you to be safe and not have to worry about harm. They just want to protect you and help everyone. You guys can truley say that your parents are one of the bravest and strongest people out there and you love them! And always remember none of you are alone!
Hey! I know having your parents at war is hard. But you can get through this. Just talk to family and friends. There are people there for you. Your parents lover you and care about you, no matter what. Remember that!
Dear child, I know how you must feel right now, now that your parent is gone fighting to save our country. Just remeber that your parent is doing a great job and everyone appreciates your parent. You are not alone this holiday and we are sure that your parent is thinking of you and you are thinking of them. We are all herefor you and you are not alone!
Hi there! My name is Katie and I'm 14 years old. I know that we don't know each other and that I cant possibly know what you are going through, but I think it's important for you to know that people of all ages care about you. With the holiday season fast-approaching, the fact that one of your loved ones is not with you must be taking a toll on you. I truly want you to stay strong and have faith that everything will work out. Right now, keeping your faith in you parent will keep you going through the days. Don't ever give up hope. I personally pray for children like yourself who have to endure life temporarily without the support of a parent there. I pray that everyone will come home safe and that our troops can come home sometime in the near future. Right now, politics and point of view are irrelevant; we all need to support our troops and their families. This is why I decided to write to you, to make one person's life a little bit better. So once again, hang in there, hope for the best, and never give up hope. Remember that everything happens for a reason. Happy Holidays! Much love. Feel free to e-mail me any time!LiLPhillyGrl912@aol.com
You must be pretty scared to have a parent or relative going to war! Trust me, I would be scared too. But, you know that your parents are doing a good deed for the country. I know you have probably heard things like that before, but really, I wish your family good luck. Have a good holiday season, and I wish you all well!
this time of year is for family and friends, not the time to feel alone and afraid. You should know that everyone is very proud of what your parent(s) is/are doing for our country and also to help those in Iraq. While over there they are not just there to help America but to help strangers that don't belong to our country and that we don't even know. That is the real gift this Christmas, it isn't wrapped in pretty paper under a tree; it's a woman walking down the street without a burka or a girl going to school. Remember that if you ever feel alone. We're here for you anytime you need!
I know it might not seem fair that one of your parents is off to war,really it's not.I can assure you that we're all thinking of your parents. Thay make our world a better place and help enssure our freedom. Your parents are awsome,and so are you for putting up with the fact they are gone. You are brave and so are your parents.
I just want to say is no matter what you think about the war in Iraq, your parents are heros for defending our country. I hope they return safe and sound so stay strong.

You need to know that this may not be a reality for some people. I am not trying to make anyone sad, but people have to realize that everyone comes home whether it is off a plane or by someone else.(they are in someones heart. Things don't always turn out fine, but in the end you will learn to live with it. On December 21, 2004 a suicide bomber killed 14 people that were only eating. This was in Mosul, Iraq at camp Marez where my mother was stationed.They are as follows:
Cpl. Raleigh C. Smith
Pfc. Lionel Ayro
Chief Joel Egan Baldwin
Spc. Jonathan Castro
Spc. Thomas J. Dostie
Spc. cory M. Hewitt
Capt. William W. Jacobsen Jr.
Staff Sgt. Robet S. Johnson
Sgt. 1st Class Paul D. Karpowich
Spc. Nicholas C. Mason
Staff Sgt. Julian S. Melo
Sgt. Maj Robert D. Odell
Sgt. Lynn R. Poulin Sr.
Spc. David A. Ruhren
Staff Sgt. Darren D. VanKomen
* The two with sad faces are two soliders from my mom's company: 133 Engineer Btt., Maine Army National Gaurd. On the same day my mom was on her way to the chow hall(cafeteria) to get a snack.Luckily she changed her mind. This was her fate, to come home. I am thankful for that.
Wow I neaver realizied that things happen like that over at war. Just think if your parents got killed- what would you do? You are very lucky that your mom choose not to go to lunch!
