Students Write Veterans Appreciation Letters Nationwide

Students across several communities are marking Veterans Day by writing letters, cards and artwork to thank veterans and active-duty service members. In western Massachusetts, more than 2,000 messages from students at 24 schools were delivered to veterans in Holyoke and shared with service members overseas. In Southern Oregon, students are writing to veterans traveling on Honor Flight of Oregon, as part of a program that also brings veterans and public service personnel into classrooms to mentor students and share their experiences. Grand Rapids students are also writing letters of appreciation to veterans.
