Words can’t express how grateful deployed troops are when they receive care packages and letters from back home. A swarm of grown men and women will hover around them, just to get whatever goodies they can. I’ve seen people fight over chocolate that made it through the trip (spoiler alert: there’s a one-in-a-million chance it doesn’t melt on the way over).
I’ve seen someone buy a pack of Girl Scout cookies for $50. I still wear a 550-cord band that I got in one of mine because a kid wrote that it’d keep me safe. I’m still here today so technically, you can’t prove the kid wrong. The letters kids sent to deployed troops are amazing. The letters fall somewhere between savage as f*ck to random as sh*t.
These are 10 of the best letters kids sent to deployed troops:
1. Thank you. Don’t Die
Thanks, kid. I’ll try not to.
2. This ‘Merican AF dragon!
What’s more America than Christmas + tanks + rockets? Victory dragon.
3. Call Me Maybe
And now we all have that song stuck in our heads… Thanks, Maddie.
4. Wine for the win
This is awesome. I mean, who doesn’t?
5. Dear Vetrans
Kid knows AC/DC, Metallica, and RHCP, even if he can’t spell them? Yeah. He’s probably going to enlist some day.
6. Thank you for fighting in the war
Don’t know if these are spelling errors or not… maybe it was intentional. But we do whatever it takes to keep our country proud of us!
7 Happy America Nut’s Kream
Meow America, indeed.
8. My Grandpa Bob was in the Navy and now he loves peanuts.
Peanuts. Yes, peanuts. Couldn’t possibly be anything else.
9. You’ll probably never get to see your family again
Thanks for caring, Donovan.
10. My dad said you guys are fighting a bunch of goat f*ckers.
For someone who doesn’t know what a goat f*cker is, Jack has some pretty good spelling and penmanship.
