It’s important for us to help teach our students to be thankful for our men and women serving in the military and our first responders who help so many people each and every day. These people make huge sacrifices for each and every one of us on a daily basis.

We talk in class about how many of these people are away from their families during the holiday season, whether they’re overseas, or helping with the wildfires or hurricane recoveries.

I’m sharing these free printable holiday letters for our military and first responders. I made them two different ways, so the students can say thank you for…… or just lines so they can write in whatever they choose. I made them both with just lines and also with writing lines as well.

Hopefully, the letters bring a smile to the recipient’s faces during this holiday season and let them know they are appreciated and we are all thinking of them!
