Letters To Soldiers

The Coulee Kids have been truly inspired by the devotion of the many moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters who work endlessly serving in the United States military. It is their dedication to our freedoms and rights, which makes us proud to be Americans! We wanted to thank our soldiers, but we weren’t sure what to say in our letters. Ben, one of the kids in our class, asked his dad to come speak to us. Ron is a member of the Wisconsin National Guard, and since he visited us, he has been called to active duty in Iraq.

When Ron talked to our class, he mentioned that when he was in Iraq last time, he enjoyed hearing about what was going on at home. He said the every day things that we take for granted, like the snow and sleet that fell last night, the mayoral race, or just what we did over the weekend were all topics that soldiers would enjoy hearing about. He stressed the importance of using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in our correspondence. This gave us an idea. If we put our letters and thoughts into a podcast, we could not only write to the military personnel that the Coulee Kids’ students know and love, but to every soldier!
