T'was the Day After Christmas

While we were celebrating yesterday there were 190,000 of our fellow Americans who weren't home with their families. Some have missed more than one Christmas at home over the past 5 years and their sacrifice should not go unnoticed.

Their mission is a personification of the teaching of Jesus who said, "greater love has no man than this, that he would give his life for a friend."

To all of our military personnel who have given so unselfishly to insure that our freedom remains intact, Merry Christmas! May God reward your efforts by placing a hedge of protection around you. May your mission to provide security and democracy for the Iraqi people be successful, and may you return back home to be reunited with your families and loved ones.

Thank you for your sacrifice. You will not be forgotten!
