Just as the 9/11 Memorial Museum honors the courageous efforts of the first responders to the terrorist attacks, a 10-year-old girl from Texas has expressed her appreciation for NYPD officers by sending them 200 handmade thank you cards, the New York Daily News reports.

Savannah Solis sent the cards following the Dec. 20, 2014 murders of NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.

“I just want to say thank you for taking care of us every day,” Savannah wrote in one of the cards. “You are my hero and you’re brave too. Keep watching out for us.”

Fourth-grader Savannah Solis arrived in New York on Sunday, where she will visit the 41st and 84th Precinct stationhouses.
