Don't Forget Our Military!
« on: December 24, 2008, 09:55:00 PM »
We're at home, with family and friends close around....then our Military are far from home and their Loved Ones!
Thanks to ALL who serve in our Armed Forces!  Thanks for keeping me safe, and my family safe, too!
Thanks for your sacrifice and hardships.
Special thanks to my son, Travis and his unit, in Northern Iraq.  Thanks to you too, Chris Surtees! Don't let me forget all the Trad Gang, that are there, or have been there/done that!
Ya'll are truly my HEROS!
Hope you have a safe quiet Christmas, and return home safe and sound.  We miss ya'll.

I am thankful to have my son home this Christmas and here with us. My Bro-in-law however is in Iraq. Also Thanks to fellow trad ganger Jason Christianson (plentycoupe) who is in Iraq this Christmas season. THANK YOU to all of you guys for your sacrifices. Be safe and have a safe return to your families.

Yes indeed to all of our folks in the Military, a Merry Christmas.  My daughter called today from Afghanistan to let me know she and her husband will be back in the States Jan. 5th.  Best Christmas present I recieved.

I retired less than 8 months ago.  I also spent a "couple of days" in Afganistan several years ago.  It's good to hear that folks still think of the deployed troops at Christmas time, cause we sure thought about being with ya'll!!  The dust and deprivation cause us to think of you ..and home a lot!

Just talked to my son in Iraq. He'll be alongside many more dedicated Soldiers working for all of us on Christmas. He has a flight mission scheduled in the AM. It is still hard to believe he is the one there when inside I feel it should be me.

God Bless them all.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I spent several Christmas's in a war zone (Nam) and know the feeling of "being over there" at Christmas time.. sucks..
May God Bless all of You Troops, and Merry Christmas. Thank You for your service.

The whole family serves. My son in law is a lifer in the AF. I went for a 2 year stretch not seeing my daughter at all and I am not seeing her this Christmas. Not easy. Thank God my wife and I can now travel and, Lord willing, we will see her and him early next year. Merry Christmas to all!  :)  Jawge
