Thanks for Christmas Eve

As I sit writing this missive, thousands of my fellow citizens stand duty in harm's way thousands of miles from here. Thousands of miles from friends and, more importantly, family. I've just had a wonderful Christmas Eve day. Presents, good food, and family. But I digress. The point is that I do this knowing that my fellow citizens, volunteers all, are in harm's way this holiday season.

And if it weren't for those people, the world situation would be far, far worse. This wonderful Christmas of mine would not be possible.

So, to all of you, far away in really crappy conditions doing what you volunteered to do, please accept this:

Merry Christmas. And thank you.
