Postcard messages from school children now on video
15 February 2010
To coincide with Remembrance last year, The Royal British Legion sent out postcards to schools across the country so children could be given the chance to write a special message to members of the Armed Forces and veterans.
Well, over 10,000 cards were sent to wounded heroes at Selly Oak and Headley Court, Service personnel at different garrisons and fighting units and to veterans who are residents of Legion Care Homes.
Helen Hill, the Legion's Schools Advisor says: "These messages are extraordinary. We didn't know how this was going to be received but we've been overwhelmed. They have an emotional honesty and directness that only children can express."
Now the children of Shears Green Infants and Junior have put together a video to say thank you to all of our brave troops and wish them well. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.
