The Comfort Crew was honored to be invited to present our With You All the Way! Program to over 50 children whose parents will be deploying in the near future or who are already deployed at a Yellow Ribbon Event today. More than 100 children will be receiving a With You All the Way! Deployment Kit, containing resources to help them cope with the complex and difficult emotions that can arise while a parent or sibling is deployed.After being split into age groups, the kids wrote some wonderful letters to the younger military kids. Below, find some of our favorite excerpts:
"I always try to stay busy to keep my mind off of my dad being gone and do a lot of things that I know will make him proud." - Brianna
"So just keep in mind that there is always someone just like you and always someone you can talk to whenever you feel sad." - Alli
"Never forget that they love you and you are not alone." - Cydney
"The worst thing to do is keep your emotions inside you and not let it out." - Robert
"The might be gone for awhile, but they won't forget that you're waiting on them to come home." - Chelsea
"I am proud of my grandpa for serving in the military to keep this country safe." - Jaylen
