ONE CARD TOUCHES TWO HEARTS

As CPT Patti was doing her final packing yesterday she handed to me a card in an envelope.

On the envelope was written in pink magic marker "Female Military Officer". CPT Patti said it had been passed to her by the battalion Chaplain. The author doesn't know CPT Patti - indeed, doesn't know where her card ended up.

Inside was a homemade card with stars and the words "Thank You" written across the front.

Within the card were these words.

Dear Madam

Thank you for your service to our country. Stay strong and be encouraged. We appreciate what you are doing!

Just wanted to brighten your day and keep hope alive!!

Praying for your safety!!

Well Heather, CPT Patti was touched. I don't know if you actually know any female military officers or what you imagine they are like. But ff you knew her you would be amazed at her gentle and giving spirit. I've been married to her for two years and I am more amazed every day.

Heather, CPT Patti sends her thanks.

So do I.
