On Vetran's Day we talked about vetran Gail Halvorsen, known as "The Chocolate Bomber." Mr. Halvorsen still lives (part time) in our area, and has family here, so the students wrote notes of gratitude to him for his service.

To my surprise we received a response and I am excited to share the letter Gail wrote during library this week, along with the story of a girl that also received a letter from Gail Halvorsen, "Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot" by Margot Theis Raven.

Thank you Mr. Halvorsen!
