The first time I shared this editorial with all my FRiends here was in 2004, when I was icebound in West Virginia heading back from leave to report for mobilization to Iraq.
This year on Christmas Eve, as I have since then, I offer this simple story, a very favorite of mine, for all my FRiends again. Take the time to read it - REALLY read it - and understand that Santa will visit your troops, and he still leaves the greatest gift of them all.
An Old Soldier's Merry Christmas to you all!
Thanks Old Sarge, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I always did love that one...
Just imagine if George S. had written the essay telling Virginia that there really was a Santa Claus. It'd only be natural, GSP WAS a Virginian, after all....
