Dear [recipient's name]:

As we recognize Memorial Day this month, I want to especially acknowledge your many years of service with the U.S. Army. As your uncle who also served many years in the Army before retiring, it gives me great pride and much honor to acknowledge your sacrifice, commitment, and hard work. We really are building a family legacy.

While you are in town over Memorial Day, please attend the local ceremonies with me on Memorial Day at 9 a.m. It would mean so much to me to spend this time together. Just call or email to let me know whether you can make it.

Fondly,

[Signature]
