P.S. Thank You: Army Veteran Catches Up with Kids Who Encouraged Him in Iraq Back In 2003
By Richard Hunt \nIt was 2003. Nearly 200,000 American troops were in Iraq. Among those was West Virginia soldier Mark Bland. He and other soldiers were so encouraged to get mail from students back home, kids they didn\u2019t even know, who wished them well, and some promised to pray for them. \n\n17 years later, Mark is making a concerted effort to connect with those who wrote him to thank them for thinking about him so many years ago. And those kids are grown-ups now. This is a vert heartwarming story!
