All my 'sons' in Irak, Afghan, and Chechnya were sent their cards and greetings scheduled to arrive in the last few days from the various APO's, and the emails went out today. The emails of appreciation are heartwarming for this old grunt. A finer group of lads the world has never seen.

Yelean'chka and I wish all of you a Merry Christmas, and may the coming New Year bring peace, prosperity, and happiness. God bless.

Bob and Yeleana
