Something special about guard duty at Christmas ~ if you know a little history your mind turns to the troops with Washington, or maybe even Clark.

Helps you focus ~

Two of my former students, now current friends, are at Leatherneck celebrating Christmas.They just posted a pic of themselves on Facebook. I always tell them that my babies (4-year-old son and 16-month-old daughter) sleep safely in their beds because of men like them. Although it was illegal I sent them off with rounds of beer at our local watering hole, and I plan on welcoming them home with the same cold beer and a hot home cooked meal. I hope that I can raise my son to be the men that they are. I hope that I can raise my daughter to know the true worth of men like them.

I watched The Crossing on TV yesterday. It struck me as an appropriate Christmas movie for our times. The entire movie is on YouTube. Here is part one:

The Crossing Part One

Jeff Daniels did an excellent portrayal of George Washington.

One of my favorite paintings of all time is Washington crossing the Delaware.
