First-light Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) As you know Teddi has been at it for 3 weeks now at West Point. 3 more to go for beast 2. It was a hard phone call yesterday and we just have to stay positive. Would anyone of you be willing to send her a letter or post card. of encouragement. She knows about the website and my long time here. It would truly lift up her spirits! She loves the woods and hunting! We call her Teddi. Thank you all. Burt Cadet THEADORA C.

CharlieNY Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am heading out now to get a card for her. It was 20 years ago when my only son enlisted for a 4 year stint in the Army and headed to Fort Benning for basic training. I remember how much he looked forward to mail from family and friends during his tour of duty which included a 1 year deployment to a combat zone in Afghanistan. Our service members deserve our support and I feel honored and happy to help out. You must be very proud of her and I will be sure to remind her that she has one great Dad! valoroutdoors.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I waited and hoped for letters and phone calls in basic and thats one million percent not what type of person I am lol. But when you need support, you need it. One day at a time! The struggle will only make her a better person. Hopefully she can read my handwriting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 At school we do "cards for the troops" during the holidays and often include phone cards and candy and treats. The kids make their own cards talking about how grateful they are to do what they do as a result of the troops. We often get great responses from the troops.It's the least we can do for all she is doing for us!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corydd7 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Crappy, I use to get these. My mom was (just retired) a 5th grade teacher, the letters her students would send absolutely made a difference at low points. Anyone who can send a letter to Teddi should. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
