As a military wife with a husband in the army that has 5 deployments under his belt, this brought tears to my eyes, I am blessed to have him home this year, last year wasn't so blessed, this reminds everyone who sees it the sacrafices that soldiers and their families make thank you, God Bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family and anyone else who knows exactly what this is like.

Thank you it brings back memories of my brother who died while in service he once told me that as a soldier you experience things that would make normal people breakdown and cry but we have to keep going even though we might not see our families and friends on holidays we are sacrificing for the safety of our country on his grave w e chiseled his favorite phrase you lay asleep soundly in your bed because there are people abroad ensuring our safety remains,thank you

I served for 5 years in the Army and been to both wars. I just recently put up my christmas tree and all my presents wrapped. I can not help though to turn all the lights off, and the only lights on are the tree lights. I listen to this. It is so easy to take simple things for granted. All I hope is that some how American's can find hope instead of being negative. Sure things are not great, but we have had hard times before. Please American's for this Holiday all I want is hope not negativity!
