Millions of letters were written during the Second World War. They were a lifeline for the men and women on the frontlines and their family and friends back home.

Thanks to @canadapostcorp for honking through our neighbourhood with handmade signs of encouragement taped to their vehicles. They even stopped outside the nearby long-term care home and waved to the windows.pic.twitter.com/LXbkxmetCJ
