As many of us sit at home and enjoy this Christmas with our family, I wonder how many of us give thought to the men who wear the flag and uniform of our nation and cannot be at home with their family today?
I want them to know that some of us are thinking of them today and there is no amount of thanks or pay that can make up for what these great men are missing today.
All we can say is THANK YOU to these men and hope they are home for the holidays next year!

(Oh and it includes women serving too)

So am I. I have friends scattered all over the globe and was blessed to hear from a friend yesterday. He is with the 42nd Military Police Brigade over in Iraq. It was such a blessing to get to talk to him on Christmas day!!!

I'm so grateful to everyone, service members and their friends/family for all the sacrifices, so that I can enjoy the full privileges of being an American. America rocks!!!

May God bless America and our military in 2009!!!

I'm thinking of my daughter, too.

So, to all the men and women serving our great country and/or our Lord at home or abroad, Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

We all do.... And we recognized their valuable service to our country. We prayed for all military members during the Christmas Mass.

We started "The Wounded Soldier" Christmas card package for those still in the hospital, alone, without family for the holiday season. These are the brave that seem to be left out, until they return home.
