To raise your glass, tip your hat etc etc, to our brave men and women serving around the world. Thank you all for your service!I've spent a Christmas in Iraq, I've spent a Christmas in Afghanistan, and I do believe that I'll spend one more overseas. This is the first Christmas I've spent with my wife and kids, and so it holds a special place in my heart. I know a lot of my forums BOTLs and SOTLs have done the same.What I really mean to say is...we miss you, we love you, and we can't wait for you to come home!

    Amen. And bless you and your family for your service, and theirs.

    I'll toast to that! I have a brother in law that is in the Navy and has just spent his first Christmas home in the last 5 years.

    glad your home with your family brother. And I pray all our men and women serving their country today are out of harms way.

    +1! I am glad to hear that you get to spend this holiday with your family and am forever thankful for all of the sacrifices that you and all of our military members (and their families) make to keep us safe and free everyday. Thank you!
