Letters to the Editor - Punt: Thank you, Brandon, for your support

I just wanted to take a moment and thank the community of Brandon for the support, prayers, and appreciation shown to me during my military deployment. Simply put, this community is an outstanding one to be a part of during a deployment.

The city of Brandon, the school district, the churches, and the citizens all supported me in one fashion or another. I can’t express my thanks and gratitude enough for that support and love shown to me and my family. It’s a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by such wonderful and caring people. From care packages to school newsletters to sports broadcasts to the Brandon Valley Journal, there were so many instances that allowed me to stay connected back to the Brandon Valley family during my time. I appreciate that so much. 

While many times it’s easy to lament on what you are missing back home, those connections and reminders of back home allow you to navigate the difficult moments and build greater resilience. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much – I genuinely appreciate it. God Bless.
