For many of our deployed troops stationed overseas, there can be a striking sense of loss when they miss the big and small moments in their children’s lives.

To quote William Ward, "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." Although it can't be wrapped, please know that there is so much gratitude for your sacrifice and service. Thank you. Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas! May you find your way home very soon.

God bless our troops and their families and loved ones. It was just a year ago when my husband came home from Iraq but had to leave just before Christmas. I know how hard it is not to be able to spend the holidays with loved ones.

ON★PATROL Capturing a "Soldier's Christmas" from what we believe is a former Marine. Does anyone know who originally wrote this poem?

usoonpatrol.wordpress.com
Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men andwomen for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let’s try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.
