Our country is free because of people like you, so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please think of all the good things about America when you do your work, it is a fine country full of good and decent people, it has wonderful ideals, and we thank you for upholding the best of America.

 Sincerely,

 Your first name only ||

Week of Oct 1: **These scavenger hunts take you to places on the earth that have neat images, like a maze or an erupting volcano. First open Google Earth. Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates into the "Fly To" Box in Google Earth. Click on the magnifying glass icon and you will be taken to the site of an object. You might have to zoom in to see it. If you can't tell what the object is, you might find a photo of it (make sure 'Photos' is turned on in Google Earth).**
