You might recall, the week the RoughRider Honor Flight left.. .we went into a local school as students were writing letter to the veterans. The letters are known as V-Mail. They are handed out to veterans throughout the trip to let them know people are greatful for their service. We tracked the letters written by the students in the story you saw last week... (Veteran) Thank you so much for fighting for me so I have freedom. My name is Hannah and I am ten years old. I think it is awesome that you would risk being killed for me. I have a couple of questions. Was it hard leaving your family. Did you use the morse code. Please write back. Thank your. (Veteran) Dear w-w-two veteran. Hi, my name is Macy.
