The Most Famous Editorial
NY Sun (via NY Daily News) ^ | Sept. 21, 1897 | Francis P. Church

Posted on 12/24/2014 11:32:56 AM PST by Old Sarge

Hard to believe that this much time has passed. On Christmas Eve 2004, I shared this editorial with all my FRiends here, while I was icebound in West Virginia heading back from leave to report for mobilization.

And then, on Christmas Eve 2005, while downrange in Ramadi, Iraq, I shared this editorial with all of you again.

And this year once again, from our new digs in Florida with The Bride and my new family, I offer this beautiful story, a very favorite of mine, for all my FRiends again. Take the time to read it - REALLY read it - and take to heart this simple message from down through the years.

A Old Soldier's Merry Christmas to you all!
