CdMMS - Letters to Veterans at the Long Beach VA Hospital
This year students are given the opportunity to write a letter to our local veterans. The letters will be delivered to the Long Beach Veterans Hospital on December 7th.
Tips to Remember
- It would be great if you could avoid words such as hope, sacrifice, and anything else along those lines
- Try and keep the letter positive to cheer them up and keep it meaningful
- Avoid religion and political stances
- They enjoy learning about you and the things you enjoy
- When writing only include your first name for privacy reasons
