LONGVIEW: Buckner residents put pen to paper, write letters to military personnel

The Longview-News Journal just ran a story about residents at Buckner Westminster Place who are writing letters to members of the military stationed overseas in honor of National Letter Writing Week.

Tweets and emails speed up the pace of life, but sometimes the old ways work best.

"You can feel, you can feel what you write," Ellen Brinson said, as she finished penning a card to an unknown military service member Monday at Buckner Westminster Place.

Brinson was among 36 residents of the Longview senior living community who launched into National Letter Writing Week by ensuring someone serving the United States gets a hand-written card.
