‘Letters From Hollywood’

Dear Warrior,

Karri Turner Karri Turner I want to take a moment to tell you how much your sacrifice means to me and my family. I am so incredibly proud to know you have my back. I have been overseas to visit you 10 times and am headed back for #11 for the New Year...so I’ve seen first hand the bravery and patriotism of our fighting men and women.

I want to also thank your family for their continued support and sacrifice. After visiting many of them in Walter Reed and Bethesda, I feel the pain and pride of your relatives. For every second you have served our great Nation, I thank you. For every time you might have been scared or worried...I praise you for your bravery. For standing up for freedom...I love you and support you. You stood up when we needed you and for that there could never be enough “thanks.”

I’m proud to have met many of our military...I pray that you stay safe. I believe in you and your mission. I AM SO VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WITH YOU ON MY SIDE!!!!

Lots of love!!
