Dear Dr. Kissinger:

My husband and I decided to write you a letter to thank you for the very fine services you performed for your country. We also feel that party affiliation should have been dropped and that you should have been kept on. Nobody, but nobody, did a finer job of bringing peace and good will to the world during your term of office and we are very sad to think that you were replaced.

We would like to wish you the very best of luck and success in your career with the high hopes that soon you will be asked to again work for our government.

For information, my husband is a disabled veteran, age 56 years. He retired from his duties with the Clerk of the District Court 6 years ago when his illness precluded his continuing. I am in my 23rd year with the Montana Department of Highways and probably will still be there until I go to my reward.

Anyway, best wishes and good luck and thanks for all you have done for all of us Americans.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Your departure from the State Department and the international
affairs of this country will, I feel, have a profound effect
on our relations with the other states of the world.

Although I have from time to time disagreed with some of your
policies and or methods I feel your recognition of the historical
pressures that seem to foretell the future of great nations
have contributed to making you the man of our time.

It may be several generations before America can truly appreciate
your views and accomplishments in the area of International
Relations. Once the partisanship of politics have been stripped
away by time, I feel certain that your name will take its place
in the world's history alongside other great international
statesmen and prime movers such as Bismarck and Metternich.

I wish you and Mrs. Kissinger a long and happy future together.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

As one of the small citizens of
The United States, I tank you for your services as
our Secretary of State.

Your efforts have made The United
States a safer place to live.

You have also contributed much to
world peace.

I know there are millions of other
Americans who concur with my expression of appreciation.

May you enjoy all the good things
in life for the years ahead.
