(For the memorial for a child that loves freedom)
We are going back to 1923. Mustafa Kemal was one of the leaders that were very famous in that political stage. So everyone was trying to get him closely.
A child from USA, he was 10 years old, decided to send him a letter to state his emotions. He had sent a letter. He stated his admiring, and he asked for a signed photo from the leader of Turkish Republic. Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) loved and admired the children that’s why he had gifted the opening day of Turkish assembly to the children (23.04.1923). He was very glad to get a letter from a child, and he responded this letter.
He replied that letter in that way briefly;
To Mr. Curtis LaFrance (the name of the child)
I would like to thank you for your interest and thoughts about Turkish nation. As you wish, I added my photo with this letter. My only advice to smart American children (thanks to you) is not to consider everything you hear about Turkish society true, try to examine those words in the light of science and deep learning. I wish you a successful and happy life for you.
Sincerely
Mustafa Kemal
President of Turkish Republic
This child wasn’t ordinary child, he was the member of French family that was famous for the freedom of USA. that’s why he knew what freedom was.
