THANK YOU

Dear: Technical Sargent Russell Dunham

Being a cadet in Farragut (j.r.o.t.c) Academy can be challengy specially when the neighborhood is not helping. And me as a 16 year old female living in Chicago Illinois i look up to people like you and the fact that people can be very successful, keeps me going on everyday. My name is Viridiana Delgado, I am the oldest child from 2 brothers. I live dreaming about becoming a Psychiatrist and owning a house in the state of California.

Very few people recognize the hard work that soldiers do to defend there country. and i want to thank all of the soldiers for risking their lives, but specially you Mr. Dunham. What you did in world war one was outstanding killing 9 Germans and wounding 7 while you were injured and fighting in the snow, was very courageous from you. You may think that by serving in a war your job is accomplished, but little do you know that your job still stands like a hero, you had taught me allot, by simply choosing to serve in a war and it means allot more to know that you were recognised with the Medal of Honor. "to be your best with out expecting a reward." is the lesson i learned from your actions.

Thank you again sir, for your bravery and for defending America like if it was your life. Thank you also for teaching me by actions which speak louder than words, and for making America for what it is known for "America the brave."
