Mr. Allen
Thank you so much for coming to greet our students with the other members of the TCVHG. It was such a special morning for our students. The ceremony was wonderful.
I truly appreciate you helping us educate the students on the meaning and significance of our flag and about the cost of freedom. We are so thankful for your service and for your help this morning. Thank you again, C.P. Principal of Davis Elementary.

Dear Mr. Allen,
On behalf of the administration, faculty, and staff at Liberty Grove Elementary, I would like to thank you for coming to our annual Veterans day celebration and providing is with a beautiful American flag and then posting the colors. It was an honor to have you and the TCVHG spend part of your day with us.
Each year I teach a patriotic unit so the children will learn what it means to be patriotic and to be thankful for the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have made and continue to make for all Americans. Having you and the other veterans at the program was very special to all of us.
I hope that you consider being part of our celebration next year, as we would love to have you back. Perhaps you have a few comments you could share with students during the program.
Again, thank you so much for being with us yesterday and providing a beautiful new American flag. We will fly it proudly.
Sincerely, K.G.

Dear Mr. Allen,
I just wanted to send you this quick note thanking for helping us with our Veterans Day celebration! All the students were very impressed and I think they really learned quite a bit about respecting the flag and the men and women who have served defending it. It really helps them to actually meet people who have done this for them. Also, thank you for our new flag. It will proudly wave over the school each day.
PLEASE PENCIL US IN FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL. I will call you next fall to finalize everything. I think your presentation is quite valuable to our school. It is people like you who really help us in educating our students in how to be better citizens.

Hi Gene
Today, I ran into one of the Dobbs Elementary teachers at the gym. She thanked us for our visit last Friday. She said the kids had never been so quiet at a gathering like that and that they really enjoyed it. She hoped we would come again next year. She said that the kids, especially th boys, would love to hear "War stories" from the members. One of her comments was that a real understanding of US history is being lost in the schools and meeting veterans like this really helps bring this history back to life.

Dear Gene
Thank you so much for coordinating the Tri-County Veterans Honor Guard to be a part of our "Celebrate America" event. The Honor Guard's contribution to the program was so meaningful and I'm sure those who are serving and have served in the different branches of our U.S.A. military service were especially blessed. Please find the enclosed check for the TCVHG which is a small way for the Music Ministry to thank the Honor Guard for taking the time to be a part of this special event in our church. It truly a pleasure meeting everyone and actually seeing some of what you do for our community and to honor our country. Thank you again, Gene, for all you do and the ministry of the Honor Guard.

Dear Col. Allen
Please allow me to express my thanks on behalf of my family for the honor that the TCVHG paid to my father, Fred, at his burial yesterday. All members of the family were overwhelmed by the honor and the ceremony that the group provided. To say this was a special tribute understates its significance and I know that my father, a member of tha "Greatest Generation" who fought in World war II, would have been greatly pleased, but also self-conscious of the recognition. That generation of heroes all thought they were just doing a job that had to be done.
Your organization's thoughtful and selfless mission provides the families of those who have passed, a closure and appreciation beyond what any of us could begin to expect.
Allow me to personally thank the fifteen members of the TCVHG for their contribution to this memorable service. Please accept the enclosed small token of our appreciation for the continuing support if your worthy endeavor. Most sincerely, D.A.
