I know a lot of you folks have spent many days away from family and friends and one day sort of blends into another, so for those who can enjoy Christmas at home I hope it is a Merry one. For those of you out there so we can spend time home this year, thanks you are always in my thoughts and prayers regardless of the season.

I would like to echo the above and thank everyone who has served, or is serving this country, and especially those who have spent any Christmases away from home and family.
Godspeed, my brothers.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all.
To all serving our country far from home I wish a safe New Year.
The 7 year old had us up at 0500 so we are in clean up mode now. She is ready to move over to the grandparents for round 2 but we are holding out for 0700.
Kids love Christmas, and we all have a kid deep down in there somewhere.

At least we made it to 0630.
Merry Christmas to all that are here and away. Prayers and thoughts out to the folks serving away from home this year. Bless you and what you are doing for us.
