During the Desert Storm Conflict, I was teaching 4th grade in Arab, AL. I told the children about Jonathan (my first cousin) and asked if they would like to send letters to him to show their appreciation for what he was doing for our country. They all wanted to do that and were very excited about it. They wrote their letters, and I mailed them to Jonathan. It didn't take a long time to hear back from him. He wrote a very heartfelt letter thanking them and sent some small souvenirs which were passed around many times. I won't forget Jonathan, and I hope those children don't forget him either.
