Testimonials
-
This is so critical for the military at this time.” Tommy Preston, Division Chaplain, Fort Hood.

When people are sick and dying and you’ve got medicine for them, you don’t want to wait for FDA approval. You want to get them their medicine right now. This is the medicine we need.” Army Director of Family Life Ministry Peter Frederich.
-
“This course hits straight to the heart and soul, wrenching feelings out that you never knew existed. You guys did an excellent job.”
- “It was right on the money and to the point.”
- “Give more classes like this one.”
- “It went above and beyond what I expected.”
- “Letters from a Soldier’s Heart touched me deeply, and the whole program was put together perfectly.”
-
“It was a complete success. The guys really got a lot out of it. I knew it was a success when the guys told me about presenting the letters to their loved ones and being blown away by their responses. This is a great program.”
-
“These guys are young, mostly 18 – 20 years old. Normally they’d be thinking more about their Play Station than writing letters to their family … I saw them mature years right in front of my eyes.”

Saving a Marriage
One chaplain had a soldier who was fighting to save his marriage. “I used the information from the Letter Writing Guide and the template from the first letter to teach him how to write to his wife before the first class even started. They were both so moved, they’ve started healing their marriage as he was about to deploy.”
The Power of a Letter
One of the chaplains intuitively understood the power a letter can hold and told us his story. “When I was in Iraq before I knew about this program, I gathered my soldiers together and asked them to write home. One of those soldiers a week later he went out on patrol and was killed in action. Shortly after his mother learned he had died, she got that letter from him. His final words to her were words of love and appreciation for all she had done for him. She wrote me, and said she could not express the depth of her gratitude for encouraging her son to write home. That letter is the most precious thing she has.”
