While the message the solider left might be special to some, it is not an uncommon occurrance.

During WWI and WWII, pins with that inscription were exchanged between lovers who were parted because of war. These are called "War Sweetheart" pins.

It is also a very special greeting for those of jewish faith and there are a great many ways this is used between separated loved ones.
