Christmas Time

This is a time of joyous attitudes, snow (for some) and family time (for
most). I, unfortunately wont be able to come home for the holidays. I can
do nothing to change this as I am about 7 times zones and half a world
away from my loved ones. I do have many people here in the barracks who
will also not be going home for the holidays and will be spending
Christmas together, alone. Alone from our families but together as battle
buddies. This Christmas, think about all the soldiers that are deployed to
several countries around the world and while they chose this life, are
still sad to be away from their families. This will make the second
consecutive Christmas away from my family. I hope there will not be a
third. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from the wonderful creators
