the note

Dear General
I had a disturbing note this week. As you know I have my project and I get funding for my shipping costs through different sources. Sir recently I was in the paper here in Billings. There was a nice piece on us and a nice picture on the front cover. After seeing the article about our soldier project here at Will James Middle School this lady decided to send a check. The amount of the check is not important.
What is important is what the note said. She said, “Dear Mr. Jones I wanted to help you with your project. I still believe in our country”! Sir how can our country fall so fast that a nice lady says that? There was such a note of sadness in that one sentence. “I still believe in our country” How many people out there are watching with despair the daily chipping away of the nation’s pride.
I will keep on fighting the good fight and trust in the Lord to watch over us all.
With respect, your friend Hunter Jones
