of the war bagdad was almost finished. I hope averybody up there
stands our country strong. Love, Garrison |
| Dear Sgt Jeff, You are the kind of person I respect most. You
risk your life for my family, my friends, and me. The things you
do every day, would scare me away in an instant but still you fight
with all you honor. You save many lives and make life and death
decision every day. You probable wont be able to write me or my
classmates back but I want you to know I am sending my good vibrations
to you to help you in battle. Nick's classmate, Jimmy |
| Dear Sargent Jeff Pederson, Thank you for serving in our war.
Im sure the country is greatful to have you be there. You did a
lot for their country. Dont stop working as hard as you do. You
are very brave. All the people in Iraq thank you, and for saving
that lady, she appreciate it. You have a very strong cousin, "he's
my classmate". DONT EVER STOP!!! Sincerely, Natalie |
| Dear Sgt. Jeff Pederson, Thank you for surving for our country
and our freedom. I know every one is happy that you are in this

| Dear Sgt. Jeff Pedersen, I think its really cool that you know
how to speak Arab. It was really brave for you to help save that
P.O.W. I'm in Nicks class and on his soccer team. The poster Nick
showed us has a lot of information. The poster said that you liked
the outdoors, in boy scouts we do that a lot. Stay safe, Matt |
| Dear Sergeant Jeff Pedersen, I wanted to tell you that it is amazing
that you would fight for our country. It would be hard for me to
come home when I saw what you see right now. We all want you to
come home safe. I know that you will. I would be very glad if you
read my letter. I hope it will make you happy. Nick's classmate,
Brittney |
Dear Mr. Sgt. Pederson, You are very brave even when you know
that your life is in danger. Saving Jessica Lynch must have been
extremely frightening but worth it. To Jessica and many other
Americans you and your team are heros. Still, even though you
know you have more power, troops, and artilery, you must be scared
but we know we will have an incredible victory. Sincerly, Clare

| Dear Sgt. Jeff Pederseon, I think it is great what you do. Fighting
for the poeple of america. Only so many people would serve more
time that they signd up for. I bet it is a disaster up there. I
hope you keep doing what a good job I hear your doing. I bet it
is not easy up there. From Nicks classmate, Zach |
Dear Sgt. Jeff Pedersen, Hello I'm a friend of Nicks. I just
want to say good luck in the army. Did you here what happened
to the Saddam statue? The Marines came and tore it down, and the
Iraqis stomped on it! I only have a few questions to ask. What
is it like in the army, when do you think this war will end, and
why did you join the army? Come back alive, soldier! Thank you
for helping the nation and Iraqis. (good ones) Kyle

5th grade Bear Creak. I am in nick's class |

millitary. It's easy to miss your family and home. Thank you for
protecting our country. You mean a lot to every one in our class.

on ready-to-eat food, barley any sleep, and being in veriations
of wheather. I wish you best of luck and my prayers and others will
be with you. Nick's classmate, Austin |

| Dear SGT. Jeff Pedersen, That's cool that you graduated from Bearcreek,
cause Im in Bearcreek "INTERMEDIATE". But still thats
still the same name. I bet its pretty cool to get big guns and shoot
the Bad guy, it would also be cool to have all that gernades a big
helment and all those stuff, but at school I read a TFK and it said
is wieghs a lot, like 120 pound if I had to carry all that stuff
I would probably die! Well I had fun talking to you. Good Luck!!
From Amanda |
| Dear sgt. Jeff Pederson, Thank you for risking your life to secure
our freedom. I wonder how it must be getting only three hours of
sleep and then having to get up right away and start fighting again.
Thank you again for putting all your effort into this war. I thought
it was brave going and rescuing that p.o.w.. Sincerely, Adam |
| Dear Sergeant Jeff Pedersen, I think you've been doing a great
job at war. I'm not trying to look like a gun fanatic, but what
are some of weapons (& equipment) you're packing? (be specific)
Oh, and what is your vavorite type of MRE (if you have one) I think
on of my choices for my future job would be some sort of military
occupation. Nice job at finding the P.O.W. Good luck and godspeed.
Nick's classmate, Landon |
| Dear Sergeant Jeff Pedersen, I am in school with Nick, your cousen.
I want to thank you. Thanks for Being in the Marines. It must be
cool to be a sergeant in the armed forces. But I must thank you
for saving peoples lives. I really hope you have a wonderful time
knowing you help america. I would love to be a helper to america,
but unfortunatly I am so young. I am very sorry to hear that the
Marines discharging was cut. That must make you sad. I am right
now, in the 5th grade with Nick. We are at the end of our school
year. But I like the armed forces and what they do. So once again
I thank you as much as I can in a leter. From Nicks classmate, Barrett |

the problems you have there: yucky food, barely any sleep, and much
more. It is so brave of you risking your life for your country.

what it really meant but now I know the defination, it is the thing
you are doing. Thats courage & bravery. Best wishes, Shivam,

because my papa went in a war and he never came back. But I don't
know what war he was in. It is very scary to go in the war because
you never know what is going happen. I have been watching the war
on TV and I think the IRAQI people like us know because we made
them free. I'm Nick's classmate. All my prayers, (unreadable) |
| Dear Sgt. Jeff Pederson, Thank you for protecting the United States
of America with all of your might. I know you try your hardest to

| Dear Jeff Pederson, Thank you for serving America. I think it
is nice of you to put yourselve in harms way to help America. You
must feel good when you save somebody. It must be cool being in
the marines and being a sergent. About how many people do you think
yo have saved? Have you ever, when trying to save somebody, run
ito the enemy? Do you get to comand an army of any sort? I like
to play war computer games so when I grow up, I might want to join
the army. Sincerely, Ryan. P.S. I am Nicks classmate |
| Dear Sgt. Jeff Pederson, Mr. Pederson it is so nice that you are
fighting for your country and knowing what could happen. What I
