The more things change, the more they remain the same: link Could have been written a hundred years ago or fifty years ago or yesterday, and have been no different— a young man far from home, wanting to know that his family still thinks of him, and wanting them to know he thinks and prays for them.

In many ways it's actually quite moving. I hope he got a letter in return. |

Well, somebody kept his letter, so someone cared about him. |
