We Have A Safer Christmas Because of Our Troops
A 'Merry Christmas' sign hangs over an intensive care ward at the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday, Dec. 24, 2005.
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. April Payne peeks into her stocking a day ahead of Christmas, at the Air Force Theater Hospital where she works in Balad, 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday, Dec. 24, 2005.
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld poses for photos with members of Combined Task Force Bayonet at Khandahar Air Base, Afghanistan, on Dec. 22, 2005. Rumsfeld is in Afghanistan to visit and thank the troops for their service.
And then of course Santa is there doing his part too.

It is true that we sleep better knowing we are safer because of our troops. Thank you everyone that is in the Military that reads this Blog. Thank you Veterans and your families for giving me a wonderful Christmas. Safe and secure because of each one of you.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your site.
I wish I was young enough to be a troop again, fighting for America.

Hi Tom, you know what? You are fighting even today and serving to but in a different way now. The posts you make, the cheers and rants you write are still fighting for America, and also cheering on the good things done and the troops. I know it is not the same, but you never gave up on wanting things to be the way they should. And I thank you so much for all you did back when you were in the Military and for what you are doing today.

There is no war in Iraq, as Congress has failed to declare war.
