I certainly didn't mean for this to get into a political discussion, as we all have our own views. However I do feel those who believe in the power of prayer, would for one moment today whisper a prayer for our men and women in uniform who are following orders and giving their best for our country. (Believe a few of our ancestors paved a way for us) I am also thinking of the families who have been left behind, may they find some peace in knowing "we do care". This is Christmas for me -"giving thanks" we are still standing as a democracy. I'm sorry I've offended anyone. These courageous men and women are on someones family tree! Merry Christmas Pat
