Happy Holidays from Sgt. Mark

Hey everyone - the phone rang tonight and it was our very own Sgt. Mark calling to wish us all a happy holiday season.  He is now in Germany and going on his 11th year in the Army.  He sounded great and he asked about everyone.  He told me that his top 3 favorites about Germany are 1) the relaxed attitude of Germans 2) the Autobahn and 3) sorry, I forgot what #3 was...

Anyway, he sounds very happy and sends holiday cheer to all!  He asked about "the Sac" and how the kids were doing.  If you still have his email address drop him a line, I'm sure he would LOVE to hear from everyone!

At a time when we are all stuffing our faces and enjoying (cough, cough) our time with family, keep our troops in your thoughts.  Say an extra prayer for all of them when you sit down at your Christmas or Hanukkah table and give thanks for all that you have.  While we open gifts and eat bon bons, they are working hard to protect our freedom.
