How would you say the following:
I thank you (from the bottom of my heart).
I am proud of you.
We are thinking of you.
You are in our prayers.
We salute you.
Thanks.

Rebeca,
Are you sure about "los agradezco" versus "les agradezco"? Googling seems to indicate that the latter is used frequently, and when I search for the former, many of the hits are "se los agradezco, which means le + los (indirect + direct object). Or is this another Spain versus America thing?

Also, thanks for teaching me the word tocayo. I love it! Do you know the origin of the word'

I thank you (from the bottom of my heart).
Te lo agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazon. ( Si es a alguien que se trata de "tu")
Se lo agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazon. ( Si es alguien que se trata de " Usted")
Se los agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazon. ( Si esta dirijido a "Varias personas")
Empero, es mas comun decir: Se lo agradezco de todo corazon. ( no desde el fondo)
I am proud of you.
Estoy orgulloso de ti. ( if you are a man, hablando con alguien de "tu")
Estoy orgullosa de ti. ( If you are a woman, hablando con alguien de "tu"
Estoy orgulloso (a) de usted.
Empero, es mas comun decir: " Me siento muy orgulloso (a) de ti ( Usted).
We are thinking of you.
Estamos pensando en ti (Usted).
You are in our prayers.
(Tu) estas en nuestras oraciones.
(Usted) esta en nuestras oraciones.
We salute you.
Te saludamos. ( Si le habla a alguien de "tu").
Le saludamos. ( Si le habla a alguien de "Usted").
Los saludamos. ( Si le habla a varias personas).
You have to remember that in spanish the personal pronoun "you" have three meanning: TU, Usted o Ustedes. That's why you have to say : Te, Le o Les ( o los ), depending of the case.
Thanks.

I hope this help you " Tocaya" (because we are: tocayas, don't you know it? )

Rebeca.

Spotted the nuestrAs oraciónes and already corrected it. Can you believe it. I am watching television and it just pops into my brain. I am even beginning to think of this site sub consciously. Must try to give it a rest.

It just occurred to me that the OP might have been referring to plural soldiers, in which case the "you" would be plural:

Les agradezco de todo corazón
Estoy orgullosa de ustedes
Estamos pensando en ustedes
Nuestras oraciones están con ustedes
Los saludamos

I might tweak these as follows.

I thank you (from the bottom of my heart). Te doy las gracias más bajo de mi corazon
Te agradezco de todo corazón

I am proud of you. - Te estoy orgulloso
Estoy orgullosa de ti (feminine because of Rebecca)

We are thinking of you. - Te pensamos
Estamos pensando en ti

You are in our prayers. - estás en nuestros oraciónes
Nuestras oraciones están contigo

We salute you. - Te saludamos
OK
