We got a letter from a Canadian Soldier!

Thanks to Leanne and Mr J....we started thinking about all the soldiers. So my kids and I went on the website for the Canadian Forces and found there were 13 different stations that we could send cards to. We were able to send Mr. J a card as well but no package...the post office said we were in a 'foreign' country and could not send packages to a US soldier :roll:
Anyway we decided to try to send something to the Canadian soldiers...since we did not have a specific soldiers name and number we could not send a package. So we sent cards...each one of my 4 children made a card for the 13 different stations. We mailed those out never expecting to hear from someone...we just hoped to brighten a soldiers day.
Today we got a really nice letter from one of the soldiers who got our cards. We now have a name and address we can write to...we are going to write him another letter and see if we are allowed to send him a package and see what he would like us to send...
So Thank you Leanne and Mr. J....we were aware of the soldiers before but because of you....we are thinking about them every day.
