Dear Garebear,
I want to personally thank you for your service and sacrifices. Guys like you make it possible for guys like me (and everyone else) to enjoy the American way. Our country is not perfect but it is, by far, the best in the world. Just check out the number of citizenship applications and compare that to any other country in the world.
Again, as the son of a veteran, you have all my respect. Please keep us posted.
