this letter somehow made me feel better. I hope it helps you

[Guest guest]

This was sent to me by a friend on a list in England.  I hope it makes you

feel as good as it made me feel.   I sent it to my son and I asked that

he shows it to his outfit

Hi Linda,

 

Thanks for sending that! I was pulling into a gas station this

afternoon when they started to read this on the radio and didn't get

to hear most of it. So really appreciate getting to see it!

 

I think it was written quite awhile ago, 'cause the dj said he would

tell us when it was written after he finished reading it, even tho it

was still true today. The comment about the draft dodgers makes me

think it must have been written during the Vietnam war era.

 

Thanks,

 

Sandra
