We're at home, with family and friends close around....then our Military are far from home and their Loved Ones!
Thanks to ALL who serve in our Armed Forces! Thanks for keeping me safe, and my family safe, too!
Thanks for your sacrifice and hardships.
Special thanks to my son, Travis and his unit, in Northern Iraq. Thanks to you too, Chris Surtees! Don't let me forget all the Trad Gang, that are there, or have been there/done that!
Ya'll are truly my HEROS!
Hope you have a safe quiet Christmas, and return home safe and sound. We miss ya'll.

I am thankful to have my son home this Christmas and here with us. My Bro-in-law however is in Iraq. Also Thanks to fellow trad ganger Jason Christianson (plentycoupe) who is in Iraq this Christmas season. THANK YOU to all of you guys for your sacrifices. Be safe and have a safe return to your families.
Yes indeed to all of our folks in the Military, a Merry Christmas. My daughter called today from Afghanistan to let me know she and her husband will be back in the States Jan. 5th. Best Christmas present I recieved.
AMEN My son is back from Iraq to Minot,ND,but can't be home this time.. A big thanks and Merry Christmas to all military persons.
:pray: amen
Kenny, My son is headed to Minot ND in Feb! He is looking forwrd to it.
Amen :pray:
I retired less than 8 months ago. I also spent a "couple of days" in Afganistan several years ago. It's good to hear that folks still think of the deployed troops at Christmas time, cause we sure thought about being with ya'll!! The dust and deprivation cause us to think of you ..and home a lot!
Thanks for the reminder... SPECIAL THANKS to those who are serving and away from home this Christmas season... praying hard for you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just talked to my son in Iraq. He'll be alongside many more dedicated Soldiers working for all of us on Christmas. He has a flight mission scheduled in the AM. It is still hard to believe he is the one there when inside I feel it should be me.
God Bless them all.
AMEN brothers and sisters!Merry christmas! :campfire: :campfire: :campfire: :campfire:
Right on. I keep all them guy and gals in my prayers.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all that are serving at home and abroad.
I spent several Christmas's in a war zone (Nam) and know the feeling of "being over there" at Christmas time.. sucks..
May God Bless all of You Troops, and Merry Christmas. Thank You for your service.

Merry Christmas and God bless all the servicemen and women serving around the globe.
The whole family serves. My son in law is a lifer in the AF. I went for a 2 year stretch not seeing my daughter at all and I am not seeing her this Christmas. Not easy. Thank God my wife and I can now travel and, Lord willing, we will see her and him early next year. Merry Christmas to all! :) Jawge
Amen :clapper:
:thumbsup: :clapper: :pray:
God Bless all of our Military families, Merry Christmas!
Family serves too, that's for sure.
Here are some favorite pics from home, for those who are far away. All these places are still here and safe because of the work you do. I can never give you thanks enough, I can only let you know that you are not forgotten.
The cool springs in the mountains are covered in ice and rime, but they still flow abundantly and feed the land, house the brook trout and fill the beaver ponds.

Campfires burn bright in lonely American hillsides and bayous. Hunters stalk God's gifts, and return to the fires to share and tell of their discoveries.

The snows are falling and the tracking is good.

But the woods will be empty for me until you are home safe, with your family, and can wake up in the free air and know that chances are, what you see will be good.

If I weren't an old lady, and if I could go out there and stay useful, I would be watching over you with my 7-08 Varmint with the 25 power Weaver on it. I will send my prayers, though, and one who is far more powerful than I will surround you with a love that never sleeps, strength that never fades, and life that never ends. May you all have peace, and return safely to your families.
