Here is something us older (yes, at 42 I am now in the older category) people might appriciate, it' something I wrote a few years ago called Letter to a soldier: (I got the idea from reading some of my dads WWII letters)

Dear Soldier,
You don’t know me but I got your name and unit mailing address from the bulletin board at my school.
My name is Mary and I am 13 years old. I wanted to write you this letter just to let you know how much we appreciate what you are all doing over there and also to let you know that we all hear the news on the radio and are praying for all of you daily at school. I know you must miss your family very much and I am sure that they miss you as well, but we know that your sacrifice is needed to overcome this evil and your fight for justice is not going unnoticed.
If you want to write me back I would love to get a letter from you. My mailing address is on the envelope.
Sincerely,
Mary Smith

Dear Soldier,
You don’t know me but I got your name and unit mailing address from the bulletin board on my school's computer. My name is Mary and I am 13 years old. I wanted to write you this email just to let you know how much we appreciate what you are all doing over there and also to let you know that we all see the news on TV and the Internet and are praying for all of you daily at home with my family each night. I know you must miss your family very much and I am sure that they miss you as well, but we know that your sacrifice is needed to overcome this evil and your fight for justice is not going unnoticed.
If you want to write me back I would love to get a letter from you. My email address is at the bottom of this message.
Sincerely,
Mary Smith

Dear Soldier,
You don’t know me but I got your name and unit eCast address from the eCast Updates at my school's IT department. My name is Mary and I am 13 years old. I wanted to write you this letter just to let you know how much we appreciate what you are all doing over there and also to let you know that we all receive the virtual telecast from our neuro-implants hourly and are wishing you all the best. I know you must miss your family very much and I am sure that they miss you as well, but we know that your sacrifice is needed to overcome this issue and your fight for justification is not going unnoticed.
If you want to write me back I would love to get a letter from you. My eCast number and dwelling barcode has been saved to your neuro-implant.
Sincerely,
Mary Smith
