Samantha and the Soldier

Samantha is a little girl who, out of love and compassion for the soldiers
fighting for her country, does an unselfish act. Samantha takes the time
to write a letter to an unknown soldier in hopes of offering him encouragement
and support. The story expresses how one genuine act of kindness can truly
impact someones life and help change his or her whole perspective on a
situation that is out of his or her control. Larry is the soldier who is stationed
overseas. He is feeling lonely and confused until he receives a random letter
from a stranger. While reading Samanthas letter, Larry becomes inspired and
filled with gratitude for a ten-year-old girl who takes the time to thank him
for his service in keeping her country safe. In dedicating this story to all the
armed forces fighting for our country, it is my hope that this book will do the
same. Because of my appreciation and gratitude for our troops, I have been
inspired to write this story of love, hope and thanks.
