Letters From Home: Military Maintainers ARE Appreciated

    Long ago when Passed Time first began on 4 June 2015, we identified one of Passed Time's founders as a military veteran.

    This veteran belongs to an under-appreciated and often completely ignored group known as "maintainers." These personnel keep the military up and running. Maintainers are the reason planes fly, hummers and tanks run, and helicopters hover. Yet, they are not wrong in thinking few notice their efforts. Those in vaunted occupations, such as pilots, are often credited with repairing, maintaining and flying aircraft (often all at the same time).

   In all seriousness, letters recently surfaced that were written by Dover, Delaware schoolchildren to a maintainer in 2004 (click the "read more" button to see all of the letters). These letters will disabuse everyone of the notion that no one cares about maintainers (whether you are a pointy head, a knuckle-dragger, a booger hooker, a bubble chaser, a jet, or a spark chaser)  and their contributions.school nicolew

    In the letters, the school students thank "Mr." for his service. Mr. was stationed in Italy at the time, and one of the students hoped Mr. was "not actualy [sic] hurting any Italians." Many commented on the sacrifices made by Mr.'s family during Mr.'s separation.

     One child called Mr. "dad." Instead of wishing for school to be over, he simply hoped his father would come home on that last day of school.    Please do not forget America's Veterans.   Contributing Author for Passed Time, 7 October 2015. Delaware
