Thanks Giving holiday is an important one for most Americans. It begins the winter holiday season with all of US getting together with our families and breaking bread, watching Football (real American Football!), and enjoying the company of friends. I'd like to once again thank all of those who are serving in far flung places instead of enjoying this holiday at home and I'd like to thank all of their families for supporting them while they are away protecting US all.  
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Rocky & Family

locutus    Merry Christmas   12/26/2008 1:02:15 AM
Wishing all our servicemen and women and those of our allies a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Come home safe and come home soon.  A friend sent me a poem she received via email written for our men and women in uniform.  Not sure of the author.
 
    
 The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
 I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
 My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
 My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
 Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
 Transforming the yard to a winter delight

 The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
 Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
 My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
 Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
 In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
 So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream

 The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
 But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
 Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
 sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
 My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
 And I crept to the door just to see who was near.

 Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
 A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
 A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
 Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
 Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
 Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

 "What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
 "Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
 Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
 You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
 For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
 Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..

 To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
 Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
 I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
 "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
 That separates you from the darkest of times.

 No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
 I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
 My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
 Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
 My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
 And now it is my turn and so, here I am.

 I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
 But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
 Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
 The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
 I can live through the cold and the being alone,
 Away from my family, my house and my home.

 I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
 I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
 I can carry the weight of killing another,
 Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
 Who stand at the front against any and all,
 To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

 "  So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
 Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
 "But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
 "Give you money," I asked, "or prep

Now for something different.  For those familiar with the comedian/ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, you'll enjoy this.  For those who are not, well hopefully you will too.

"The greatest gift we have is tomorrow. It comes to US clean every morning and the only thing it asks of US is that we learn from yesterday" -John Wayne
 
To everyone in uniform: Thank you for 2008, you made a difference. Have a blessed 2009.

Our lives are possible because serious people are willing to sacrifice so much to protect US. Thank you and may our nation promise you every day that we will strive to be worthy of that sacrifice. God bless you and your families, and all of those who serve our nation.
