Another of Mrs. P's students, Heather K., has also sent along a poem:
I Support Our Troops
Your day begins before day light
And End well into the night
You travel to unwelcoming places
But you give it your all.
You stand strong for your country
And believe we should be living free
You protect your family and friends
And even strangers like me.
You go out there everyday.
So we will have al our rights,
Even though your life is at stake
For all of this and your unfailing might
I support our troops.
How can I say thank you
For all you have done
To our flag you stand true
Staying strong til the victory is won.
-- Heather K.

Heather, well said! Thanks for letting me post this, and thank you for supporting our Heroes!
Mrs. P, there should be more teachers like you out there...and more kids like your students!
