As I sit here in Washington D.C. six hundred and fifty miles from my beautiful wife and three wonderful children (not to mention my bows)I have come to realize just how special this season really is. I thank God for the gift he has given all of us and I also thank God that I serve the people of such a great nation. I cannot speak for all service men and women but I can say for myself thank you for your thoughts and prayers, may God bless you all. MERRY CHRISTMAS from a soldier in the nations capitol.
