I came across your site while creating a lesson for my fourth grade covering the Declaration of Independence. I feel it imposrtant to help my students understand that the fight for independence continues today through the work of our soldiers. Would you be willing to correspond with our class through email about your son's and your families' sacrifice for our country? If so, please email me at your convenience at jill.schmidt@walton.k12.ga.us
As a mother and teacher, I thank you for all your son and your family has done for us. With warmest regards, Jill Schmidt Fourth Grade Teacher
