A letter to a parent. Whoda thunk it. For crying out loud. Both my husband and I have received letters about our sons from commanders and the Secretary of the Army wrote us a letter to thank us for working to support our troops. Are families not allowed to hear from commanders now?

I got a very nice letter about my son too. He was an enlisted man with the 10th Mountain. It was about 10 years ago now.

It looks to me that the various branches of the services send out letters to the families of their soldiers on a regular basis, wenever the soldier is doing well. If the soldier is not married the letters go to the parents.

I didn't see the press pointing this out.
