Service during Christmas

Sometimes there is no explanation for good fortune.

I served in the US Navy twenty-five years, including service on five ships deployed for as long as nine months at a time. In all that time, it always worked out that I was at home or in my home port for Christmas. I didn't plan it that way - it just happened. I know how fortunate this was for me and my family.

Others in our military service aren't so fortunate.

Please remember our deployed military servicemen and women and the families from whom they are separated this holiday season.
