Letters from Home A CONTEST   "I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared, and our boots ain't muddy and they all laugh like there's something funny 'bout the way I talk, when I say momma sends her best, y'all. I fold it up and put it in my shirt, pick up my gun and get back to work... And it keeps me driving on. Waiting on letters from home."  Talking with Veterans, who are members of WDC, they said the one thing they loved was LETTERS FROM HOME, that some of the guys for various reasons never received mail. Also, reading an inspirational story by Doctor Jimmy:

A wondefully written letter; full of vivd imagery and comforting thoughts that would take any soldiers worries for the moment away; as he or she would be reading this letter. I remember trying to imagine the rolling hills, springtimes joyous return and all of the pleasant landscapes from my hometown...I am a Gulf War Veteran. I would have truly appreciated reading this letter during my tour over seas and am just as pleased to read it now. I hope you send this letter to a soldier--believe me it would make their day. Getting mail was THE MOST, " looked forward to," part of our service. The dissapointment I felt when there was mail call and I did not recieve a letter was HORRIBLE. Well wriiten and keep writing! Shelly That sums up my reasons for creating this contest. Every Letter submitted will sent to overseas, to the guys serving, this is more than a writing contest. Check out his contest
