The 'Beck' Iraqi Valentine's Day Ever!

Valentine's Day away from your sweetheart can be hard, but receiving about 100 valentines from a local elementary school you grew up near helps. The 4th graders at Beck Centennial Elementary in Macomb, Michigan not only sent valentines, but they sent enough candy hearts, chocolate, magazines, and books for an Army. All the cards were very encouraging. I received "Strong Hi 5's", a "good luck pom-pom", "keep your hopes up", games and prayers.



After I finished reading them, I wallpapered my walls at work...



...and the door into my office.



You forget that people, besides your family and friends, actually appreciate the things we do over here.

Thank you Beck Centennial Elementary 4th graders!
