Box of Letters

I was on the phone the other night talking to Austin and we were just talking about random things that were going on. He brought up that I mentioned that I had a box of letters that I kept that were from my brother while he was in the Navy. I told him yes I still had those and why he would bring that up. He said that he was hosting a convention for the armed men that have fought for our country. He wanted to display some of the letters to show what some of the men were going through during boot camp and what they were going through everyday at work. I thought it was a cool thing that he wanted to give the men a convention but I wasn't sure that I wanted him to take my letters, the only ones that I have from my brother and show them to people. Some of the letters were showing how tough it was for him to be there and I didn't want people to see him as a weak person. But I began to think that this would be a great oppourtnity to actually show people that it isn't easy being there and as bad as the families are hurting the mean are also hurting too. So I let Austin take the letters to be displayed at the convention but I made sure to get them back.
