I'm lucky to be home with my wife for Christmas, my guys and I go wheels up in a few weeks. I'll be in Afghanistan be mid February. Happy Holidays.

One of my best friends is on his way to Afghanistan. He is tied to the first Armored Division.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Words dont seem to do it justice. Just know that we support you and thank you.

Happy Holiday's to all.

I remember my Christmas away (Vietnam, 1966). Bob Hope & Company helped but it's not like being with family. Thinking of our troops for sure.

Merry Christmas to all military personnel. Thank you for your past and present service to our great country. I do not take for granted your service and sacrifices. I have the utmost respect for each and every one of you.

May God bless each and everyone of you, and may God watch over and protect the personnel deployed overseas.

Merry Christmas!
