FWIW, Chelsea reads every single letter she receives unless it's illegible. Mail is much appreciated.

I know "Thank you for your service" is gauche, but she's probably someone who needs to hear that---along with a heartfelt apology from the citizenry who failed her.
I have never written such a letter before. I have never written a letter that I knew would be opened en route by someone other than the recipient. Though I am not a fellow citizen, and as schmaltzy as it sounds, I think I should thank her as a citizen of the world.

Found that by following a link. https://www.chelseamanning.org/learn-more/write-to-chelsea-m... Make sure to follow the on-page instructions or your correspondence will be rejected/returned. The conditions are quite strict. They check for obscenities which is hilarious -- assuming movies like Full Metal Jacket are an accurate depiction of Army life. Append USA from overseas obviously.
Perhaps if we wrote it would hope alive as the cliché goes.
