A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
I had a chance to interview the creator of this video, 15-year old Lizzie Palmer.
CJ: Why did you create this video?
LP: I wanted to show my gratitude and support for every servicemember and felt that I can’t do much (because of my age) but I could do what I was able. I hope it gets my message across.
CJ: Are you in the military or do you have family in the military (Naturally, I didn’t know she was 15 until later)?
LP: Being 15, I’m not old enough to be in the military but hope to enlist in the Army after I graduate from high school. I have a cousin-in-law in the Army National Guard, my grandfathers were in the Navy and Air Force, and I have a very good friend in Iraq with the Army.
CJ: How old are you and where do you live (you don’t have to be specific, a state is fine)?
LP: I’m 15 and live in Ohio (Go Bucks!)
CJ: Are you involved in any other Soldier support projects?
LP: When I have the means, I try my best to send care packages and letters to servicemen and women via AnySoldier.com.
CJ: If you could speak to every Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine, what would you tell them?
LP: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! If I could, I would give each and every one of you a hug (if you wanted one, that is, haha)!

Thanks Lizzie. I have had sons in the war for the last three years straight
and it is very hard on all of us. Thanks for making people understand.

My husband is over seas in irac, when I saw this video I cried. Not because of the content so much, but because someone understands and is on my husbands side. I just want to say thank you for sharing your love and talent to the world.
