I swiped this from Grandpa Old Soldier who frequently posts some really good stuff whe it comes to our Armed Forces.
Here's just a little reminder about the families that sacrifice just as much when their loved ones are over in the shit box so we can piss and moan about the holiday traffic and the crowds at the mall. So we can feel the comfort of being safe and enjoying the time with our families.
GOD Bless the United States Military and what you all do for us! From the soldier to the new born, you will always be in my prayers. Before we say Grace on Christmas Eve, I will have a prayer of my own for you and your families. Thank you, and God Bless You always!
If this doesn't water your eyes, you aren't human... When you're sitting around the table with the family this Christmas, say an extra prayer for those who are at home fighting their own war. The war of support!
Merry Christmas everyone!

oh my god! you totally suck for making me cry this early in the morning. they'll be in my prayers too as always. and btw...glad you made it home from the christmas party ok.
My prayers for all soldiers, and families, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Everyday I ask God to give them faith and strength.
As a little girl, I spent five years crying and praying everynight for my brother, fighting in Europe. I saw my mother's hair becoming white from worry. I saw my father's face and eyes, deepening with sadness at every newscast. I know what it is to have a family member on the battlefield.It changes your life forever even when your soldier returns home safe. Some of our close friends didn't. It becomes such an empty despair...
May God sustain each of the people involved in those wars. It's hell to go through...
Good, sad video, CD. I saw myself in that little girl. The day my only brother returned, I couldn't stop crying. I didn't want to be with the party going on. I stayed hidden. Every 5 minutes, he would come to me and hug me, and say,"I'm back, Tibi, I'm back! It's me. I'm here!" I didn't believe it. I was so cold, and trembling. He wrapped me in his huge soldier coat and brought me to the group. He had changed so much y'see. I didn't recognize him.
The absence that war creates is so hard on children. You have no idea. I'm crying all the tears of my heart while remembering those days.
