When Cheryl Winship of Freedom, N.Y., opened an envelope this week addressed to her little boy, Hunter, the tears started coming and wouldn’t stop.
Inside was a document holder with a photo from U.S. soldiers serving on the front line in Iraq, a Bronze Star from one of the men and a written comment stating Hunter was their hero. The letter, along with several paper airplanes made by the soldiers out of the Iraqi form of money called Dinas, were added to the hundreds of thousands of airplanes little Hunter has received over the past few months.
Hunter, 5, was diagnosed in January with Burkett’s Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer. Over the past several months, he has received chemotherapy at Buffalo Women and Children’s Hospital in his fight against a disease that results in fast-growing tumors.
