Kevin Nichols 914th Airlift Wing Public Affairs 11/16/2012 - NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- Students in Mary Graber's Niagara Wheatfield Senior High School classroom wrote letters of appreciation and encouragement to a local serviceman who will be away from home this Thanksgiving. The students and their teacher along with Katie Orr, school intern, created a dozen hand written letters.  These letters were addressed to Tech. Sgt. Joe, an Airman from the 914th Airlift Wing, who is currently deployed to Djibouti, Africa. These caring students decided as a group to write a serviceman and show their gratitude for protecting our country through their letters. Two members from the 914th visited the classroom November 15 to accept the letters and forward to Tech. Sgt. Joe and also to answer questions from the students.
