Letters of Appreciation

Thank a soldier.  It will only take a few minutes of your time, but is invaluable to our men and women overseas.  The soldiers enjoy receiving letters from the people back home and they especially get a kick out of letters from kids.  So write a letter or have your kids write a letter thanking them for their sacrifice.  Take it a step farther and ask your child’s class to write letters, too.  Each letter we receive will be included in one of the boxes sent overseas. 

We would be happy to pick up letters from schools, please email info@andykandfriends.org to arrange.
