What is the Holiday Called?

This summer, the boys wrote to soldiers who are currently overseas serving our country. We got the addresses from a website called anysoldier.com. Each boy wrote a letter and drew a picture. We also sent pictures of our family. We didn't know who would receive the letters. We just prayed that they would encourage soldiers who was sacrificing for our freedom.

Yesterday, we got a big package in the mail to "The Yeh Family." The package was from the US Naval Forces Central Command Staff serving in Bahrain. In the package was a bunch of candy along with a letter, a thank you card, a navy calendar, a magazine, pictures and maps. It was so interesting to learn about Bahrain as well as this unit's responsibilities.

We thought that we were going to bless someone with a letter. We were even more blessed by the fun package. We are excited to write back and start corresponding with this Officer.

Referring to the holiday on Friday, I mentioned at dinner that it was great timing for us to receive the package. Nathan said, "Oh yeah! Because of Veterinarian's Day!" Not quite, Nathan...
