Nice someone remembered the day. Thanks.
A touching letter to the editor in The Globe & Mail today
A child's letter to a dead soldier
Rachel Hamilton
My name is Rachel. I am in Grade 4. I am writing this letter because I want to say thank you for sacrificing your life so we could live in freedom. I know I couldn't have done that. If there was a war going on right now, I would probably go in my house and stay there for as long as I needed to. But you didn't. Thank you.
If I were you, I would probably never risk my life for something that doesn't even have anything to do with me. But you did. Thank you for leaving your family to go to war. Thank you.
Thank you for experiencing all this just so people you don't even know don't have to. I couldn't imagine what it would be like getting off a boat with people trying to shoot you, like in Normandy. I would have told you to stop and go back. But you didn't. Thank you.
