Marc,

How's it going over there? You should be settling into the 6th grade school year by now. I wanted to write you to let you know I got your letter. I'm very proud of you for finally standing up to Kenny Williamson and showing him that he can no longer bully you—showing him what a Warrior Kid is all about...

It's the holidays and Marc and his friends are ready to celebrate! But more importantly, they've decided to give back to those in need. While searching through his house for things he can donate to the local holiday donation drive, Marc comes across his treasured collection of letters from his Navy SEAL Uncle Jake.

Each letter contains a story from Uncle Jake's childhood that teaches a valuable lesson, shows how to overcome life's challenges, face one's fears—or all of the above!

Marc realizes these letters can do more than just help him—they could help kids everywhere! Not only does he donate copies of them to the donation drive, he's sharing them with you to help you become smarter, stronger, healthier and better! Not only do you get to learn what Uncle Jake's childhood was like, you get to learn new ways to stay on The Path and be the best Warrior Kid you can be!
