I doubt a letter will help, but I'd get one anyway. The TSA is going to do whatever they want regardless. Maybe you should find those medical condition cards.

Please thank your son for his service to our country.

You could try calling the local offices of your Senator or Congressman to see if they could help, although not sure what they could do.
Her son is still in training. They will not allow him to go home until his training is finished. So, the only way she'll get to see her son is to travel to him. That's just how the Army is.
