Veteran's Day- Travis

Hey guys, My cousin Travis was in the Iraq war ( the United States Marine Corp) and got back last February, unharmed! For a school project I decided to write a thank-you note to him for serving our country (Travis is on the left):

Dear Travis,
Thank you for serving our country. It takes a great amount of courage to do what you did. You sacrificed a lot for us; time away from friends and family, home cooked meals, and risked your life. Sometimes I bet it was really scary. I hope to see you soon. THANKS
Love,
Melissa
