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 Subject: FW: Fwd: Fw: Fwd: This short video humbles you right down to your toe |
