On a cold winter day in Iraq I took a small, battery powered CHRISTMAS tree from foxhole to foxhole and celebrated Christmas with my men. I had a single bag of Oreos...each man received one oreo.
I don't know where "Hoffa Lives" but, I do know that the spirit of Christmas lives in many of us, no matter how far we are from those we love.
People risk thier lives to come here. If you can hate what we are so much, and do so little to make a difference. Go to those places...dig a well, replant the rain forrest, rage against the machine.
I say...spend what you have, on what you want, on who you want.
I know men who would have wanted to be alive...to be here...to be able to do just that.
No matter what it is...this is America...this is home...this is us.
Celebrate it...Merry Christmas!!!
