Ah, Christmas morn! What a time of excitement, the kids are scurrying to check out the booty Santa left them, and Mom and Dad are trying to monitor the chaos. It doesn't matter the age of the children, the excitement is just a little more reserved. It's a time for family, but also a time to reflect. First on the reason we celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Savior. Second we should remember all those around the world who aren't home with their families, because they chose to be a hero and protect our freedom.They are not only our hope, but for those of the world who can't defend themselves. How many a mother has been relieved to see the American soldier arrive and drive a rebel force from their town or village. Knowing their presence keeps them from having to hide for safety. How many times has she concealed her children so the boys won't be taken and her and the girls won't be abused? Around the world mothers sleep safer because these brave men and women have chosen to be apart from their families on this holiest of days.
That's what their sacrifice represents, hope. What better a present can they give to the world but hope? The soldier may not be able to chase away all the fear and tyranny, but they can supply hope. No greater love has a man or a woman than those who give of themselves, that others may live without fear. So today I honor the birth of Christ, and the sacrifice of our fighting men and women around the world. Please join me! To my hero, Merry Christmas Son!Stay safe, brave warriors!
God Bless
Capt. Bill
