Dear Solider,

I am writing this letter to thank you for protecting this country. You are so brave for puting yourself in war like that. I am so happy that everyone's family has not been hurt because of you guys. You guys are so cool. I know a couple of people in Iraq. I am so happy to have someone read this message.

I go to Lynhurst. It is a Jr. High school. I am in 7th grade. Lynhurst is located on the west side of Indianapolis. I am 12 years old and only 4ft 8in. tall. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. I play the trumpet. I am very good at it. Next year, I will join Jazz Band.

Indianapolis is very cool. It has a zoo! The baketball team is called the Pacers. Colts is it's football team. The colts are my favorite team. I also like the Bears, Chicago's football team.

Indianapolis is great! I hope one day you could come here. You would have a blast!

Your Friend,

Jacob S."

Dear Soldier,

Hello! My name is Taylor G.. I am 12 years old and I live in Indianapolis, IN. I attend Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center. It's amazing here, but it's a big change from Elementary school. Anyways, I am writing this letter in regard to September 11th. I was only 7 years old when it happened. And, I remember the exact day. It was a very sad day for us. And, it still is. Today, we had a red, white and blue contest on our team. Sadly, I had no blue to wear, so I wore as much red as possible. In my school, I am on the Collegiate team. I have two amazing teachers, here. One of them is Mr. Day. He's awesome!! He raps and he is very funny. He is my social studies teacher. The other one is Ms. Cepeda, which is my language arts teacher. We are writing these letters in her classroom. After 8th grade, I will go to the 9th Grade Center, and then onto Ben Davis. Ben Davis is the biggest highschool in Indiana, and it's really amazing. My sister goes there, and she loves it. Our team is the Indianapolis Colts. Their awesome!

I am sure you do not live in Indiana, so I am going to tell you a little more about how it's like to live here. Indiana is a great place to be educated. They also have amazing food. Not only do they have fast-food places, but, they also have great restraunts. I'll name a few. Well, one is Pizza King, which is mostly pizza and breadsticks. Another is Lahacienda, which is the BEST place, by far, to get Mexican food. My favorite out of the two is La hacienda. My favorite fast-food place would have to be Subway. Everyone loves $5 footlongs. In Indiana, we have the Lucas Oil Stadium. That's where the Colts, our football team plays. We also have the Conseco Fieldhouse, where our basketball team, the Pacers play. Our WNBA team, also plays there.

This letter is mostly to thank you and your friends! Although, I do not accept nor support the war that is going on, I am very thankful that you are out there keeping the United States of America safe. Me and my family, and all my class mates, really appreciate what you are doing for our country. I've always had thoughts about being a Soldier, when I turn 18. But, I have a 2 year old sister that I will probably be taking care of when I am older. And, I don't think I could leave my family. Do you have any kids that you left? I think I would also be scared to be a soldier. Getting shot? That kinda freaks me out. Are you ever scared?! September 11th is probably one of the saddest days that I have ever experienced. We were watching a 9/11 tribute video today, and my eyes got a lot of tears in them. Seeing the pictures really made me sad. Anyways, I cannot thank you enough for what your doing!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And, my heart goes out to you.

Have A Nice Day!

Taylor G."
