A Soldier's Christmas

[Hammer]

You can bet your boots that our fighting men and women in the middle east, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines alike deserve our utmost thanks and support.

Whether you agree with their use or not, they are serving their Commander-In-Chief, their Congress, their Country... in short, they are serving US.... In conditions that would have some prisoners rioting as inhumane, they work 12 hour shifts in peacetime and who knows during wartime... they do it all with a smile on their face, a sense of duty, and a love of country.

I truly believe that these men and women will soon be in harm's way as they finish a mission that fellow veterans and I were not allowed to do.

Whether they storm the sands of Iraq or take a hill in North Korea.... always remember that they may be fighting and dieing so you and I don't have to.

So tonight, Christmas night, I say a prayer for those brave souls on the wall. Keeping watch over us so we and our children may sleep in peace and freedom.

God Bless all of you.
