Dear Mr. Jacquez,
On behalf of the Korean War Veterans of the 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion who visited with you, your faculty and your precious students I want to thank you for allowing us to come to your school to speak to your students. We had a wonderful reception, great interaction with your students, a very good lunch and a very pleasant surprise when your faculty presented us with those patriotic caps.
We were all very impressed with the decorations of the classroom doors which contributed so much to our welcome. All of us were delighted and very impressed with the students. They were very attentive and posed very good questions. We were all proud to be able to talk to them. It was most gratifying to know we were speaking with children who had at least one parent, for the most part, on active duty with the U.S. Army. Those young children know more then most adults in our country about the sacrifices required to insure our Freedom. They come from noble families.
Again, please extend our thanks to your faculty for giving us such a wonderful day. We wish all of you a very blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.
With best regards,
Bob Fiedler

Dear Mr. Varela,
This short note to you is to express my thanks to you for allowing me to come to your class on the 30th of November to visit with your students.
As a former member of the 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion and Veteran of the Korean War it was gratifying to interact with your students. They certainly were not shy about asking some very good questions and I hope I answered them to their satisfaction. I was surprised that they had so much good knowledge of the subjects we discussed. It certainly is a reflection on you and their parents.
The biggest surprise to me was receiving a letter from each one of your students. I read them several times and please express my thanks to them for doing so. A lot of effort went into them. Their expressions of thanks for serving our country were very gratifying. The door decorations sure made me feel very welcome and I want to thank the students for this also.
None of us anticipated the welcome we received from the students and faculty. Your students may not know it but the faculty provided a very nice lunch and presented each one of us with a patriotic decorated cap. You have a great school.
With best regards,
Robert O. Fiedler
