Merry Christmas

Steve Vlasich reminds us to remember our troops in foreign lands this Christmas:

And now, this year as I spend Christmas with my family, deep in my heart I wish another generation of soldiers good luck and godspeed as they fight the twin demons of holiday homesickness and the enemy. May you persevere and triumph.

This holiday season, pray that our troops - the pride of our nation serving in remote lands - will be safe from the terrorists' wrath. As you sip your eggnog in from of the warm fireplace surrounded by family and friends, think about how it feels to be 18 or 19 years old on patrol in the rough streets of an Iraqi city on Christmas eve. Remember those who fight for our right to live as we choose.
