Schools rule in supporting our troops!
Here's a shoutout to Wilson Middle School in Plano. Last spring students, teachers, and parents sent hundreds of care packages to our troops in Iraq. Here's a letter of thanks from one of our fine brave soldiers thanking the school for their support. It just shows how every bit of support that we give to our troops is so needed and appreciated.

TO THE STUDENTS OF WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL:
I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION OF YOUR NEVER ENDING SUPPORT. AS THE DAYS PASS, EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO RECEIVING A PACKAGE OR EVEN A LETTER. WHEN THESE PACKAGES CAME IN THE EYES OF MANY MARINES AND SAILORS LIT UP LIKE THE EYES OF CHILDREN ON CHRISTMAS MORNING. OUR DETACHMENT WAS OVER-FILLED WITH THESE PACKAGES, AND WE DECIDED TO SHARE THE WEALTH WITH OTHER COMPANIES THAT ARE HERE ON BASE WITH US.
MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW MUCH HOPE A SINGLE LETTER MIGHT DO. THESE PACKAGES FILLED EVERYONE’S MORAL AND ALSO GAVE EVERYONE MORE OF A REASON TO FIGHT. EVERYONE READ THE LETTERS, AND SOME OF THOSE LETTERS GAVE US A REAL GOOD LAUGH. IT IS A GOOD THING KNOWING THAT WE ARE SUPPORTED BY GREAT PEOPLE LIKE THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.
ENCLOSED IN THE PACKAGE IS A FLAG THAT WAS RAISED HERE IN IRAQ. I FLEW THIS FLAG FOR EVERY PARENT, EVERY STUDENT, EVERY FACUTLY MEMBER AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED FILL THESE MARINES AND SAILORS WITH A NEW HOPE. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR NEVER ENDING SUPPORT, AND WE WILL KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT.
LCPL HERNANDEZ, NICHOLAS
