‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE,
MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY,
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO,
IN THIS HOME, DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES,
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT,
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR,
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED,
AN AMERICAN SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO,
OF WHOM I’D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES,
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS,
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE,
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM,
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN’T HELP WONDER,
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE,
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT,
A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES,
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED,
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
“SANTA DON’T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON’T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.”
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN’T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL,
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED,
FROM THE COLD NIGHT’S CHILL.
I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE,
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR,
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, “CARRY ON SANTA,
IT’S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.”
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.”
This poem was written by an Australian Peacekeeping soldier stationed overseas.
As I anticipated.....this muller investigation would end up having to deal with other nations laws not just ours....a web that will likely keep spinning with no end in sight.
LOL! STAYING EXCITED HERE!!! :-D

Re: your post 877
I wish people would have remembered that regarding Gowdy and the Benghazi hearings. Congress is the legislative body, not law enforcement or prosecution.
Thank you. To me the message of Christmas is not personal fun and enjoyment, but self sacrificing love. I’ve read that poem before but forgot about it. Still makes me need some kleenex.
We found it
Spouse took her Greek language herb book to a Chinese doctor in the bay area....he didn't speak or read English or Greek...but he recognized the Latin name.
But why would they notify them? Thanks.

PSYOPS I’m sure, but don’t ask me to ‘splain it. I don’t know nuffin bout sech stuff. I do recall that some group used the punisher symbol and messages and stuff to skeer their adversaries.
>>‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
Absolutely wonderful. Deepest gratitude to all those here who have served at some time to protect and defend us. There will never be enough words to tell you what that has meant.
Gowdy could do no more than he did, with a DOJ run by Holder and then Lynch.
And now, anything revealed even in a closed hearing, is heard by Dems who will immediately leak or inform their buddies in crime, what to speak of open hearing. The DoJ is working working working. Congress can do its own business without trying to mess up ongoing investigations. Congress should cut illegals from getting one red penny of fed $ for one thing.
My pleasure to be a messenger. There was a bit more at the link, plus all the graphics...I have my limits!
The JFK assass ination was one of the turning points in our history (and not for the better)...

“Forgive us that it took a while for us to reach out to you. It took an enormous amount of time and focus to make sure the biggest intelligence drop in our history was properly organized. We had to keep our heads down for that period and stay off the radar as much as possible. However, that was then and this is now. We need you to discuss this with everyone you know as much as you possibly can. You’re all welcome here. It’s civil and we’re here to help as much as possible.
You have known for decades that there was something deeply wrong with the official story of the JFK assassination. You watched the Church Committee hearings in disgust when it was revealed that the CIA had a heart-attack gun. Oliver North’s games did not impress you. Neither did Bill Clinton’s during his time in Arkansas. And the deeply disturbing events at Ruby Ridge, Waco and Oklahoma City just cemented your distrust of the Federal Government. And then there was 9/11. All sorts of questions have yet to be answered about that tragic day, especially about Building 7.
The current moves against the pedophile elites who run the world is just the beginning. It’s all going to come out - about everything. It will take a long time to unravel. But it will be unraveled and in public. 99% of the world will be completely horrified and unable to grasp the true scope of the crimes that have been committed. Doubtless you and I will also be amazed by some things we suspected were true but had no way of knowing. That’s OK. But our job will be to constantly remind everyone we know that the long nightmare is almost over and that the good guys are in charge now. There will be justice. The awful truth about many household names, especially in Hollywood, will be finally known. The unimaginable truth about North Korea will finally be made known.
President Trump has been preparing to do something about all of this for many, many years. His business success has allowed him to rub shoulders with the elites for decades where he learned their secrets while never becoming one of them. Is he really a racist, sexist, misogynist buffoon? Of course not. He’s a deeply principled man, straight as an arrow, highly intelligent and will go down in history as the greatest President ever. He needs your help. Talk about all of this. Point people to the Q book. Post on here. Encourage each other. We’re witnessing the second-most amazing event in history (the first happened ~2000 years ago but I digress).
Q walks among us. Have you learned to read the MAP yet? Godspeed Patriots.,
the Board Owner.” “
I think there is an end in sight. Just very complex legal stuff especially with foreign connections. Of course, they aren’t connected with Trump. :-) Dems were the ones with foreign hanky panky.

Gotta take issue with this part. When reading the poem it's clear that it speaks of an American Marine. The poem was written by Marine Lance Corporal Schmidt and was published in 'Leatherneck' magazine in Dec 1991. I was US Army, but credit goes where it's due; Army or Marines, we both fight for the same country.
Merry Christmas to all!
This shutdown IS good for Trump.
He almost begged for it.
