I feel the need to re-run this short and poignant clip. The Christmas season reminds me of the many men and women of our Armed Services who will celebrate Christmas in foreign lands. They do so voluntarily...living up to their pledge to protect us--their loved ones. This is but one of the many sacrifices they make to keep us free. Their Christmas present to us is our "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".While I cannot speak for them, I can remark on the Christmas seasons I missed with my own family. On top of missing my family on those occasions, I felt a certain pride...pride for what I was doing and pride for my fellow Warriors who were sharing the sacrifice. By doing so, we were living up to our country's expectations. By doing so we were providing protection for our friends and family. It was a strange and fulfilling ambivalence.Remember our Warriors in your Christmas prayers.Jim 


 

No Politics, only a wonderful story of the American Military and its contributions to make a strong America and if it does not bring a tear in your eye, you must surely be brain dead.  Take few minutes to see it, it is truly worth the time.  LS
