Holiday Season: Remembering Our Troops
(December 1, 2005)

With the holiday season upon our great nation with thoughts of sharing gifts and more with loved ones and friends abounding, I would like to ask you to keep our troops in harm's way . . . in your thoughts and prayers as you shop and celebrate during December.

You can also express your pride and support of the troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere beyond America's shores by donating to the USO's Operation Phone Home . . . as it would mean so much to our troops, who are far from home and lonely, to be able to hear their loved ones' voices. Just imagine the joy being brought to a young brave troop defending our flag and freedom upon using your heartfelt holiday gift!

And don't forget the troops living in your community . . . When you see a valiant one in uniform, please take a few minutes out of your holiday schedule by walking over and wishing him or her a happy holiday season and God's blessing for serving the USA proudly.

Moreover, those of you who live near a military base could really make a holiday difference for some of the troops who will remain on base during the Christmas period due to various reasons.  (My son was unable to celebrate Christmas at home in his last two years with the Marines.)  Check with your church or other local organizations to see if there is something you can do . . . You can even contact the base to see if there are planned celebrations for the troops by your community.

I also invite you to read my new poem, I Am The One, and USMC Sgt. Aaron Gilbert's poem, THE MARINE, which both illustrate why our troops deserve our unyielding support, thanks, and praise.  (There are many more poems and articles at USA Patriotism! that are worth reading for the same reasons.)

Wishing you, your loved ones, along with all our brave troops and their families a very safe and happy holiday season!
