Kleenex will be needed before you get to the end of the poem.

Very nice. I hope someone over in Iraq prints this out and shares it with our troops.

I hope you have seen this.
Perhaps you can pass it on to all those on your Iraq ping list.

SandRat,
I detect that you have a very soft heart. Thank you for thinking of me and others when you send out a ping about people doing something good for our troops or when you post good news about our troops.
I'm taking this poem, fixing up the fonts and colors, and printing it out to include in the Christmas cards to the troops at Walter Reed. Thanks for posting it.
To: SandRat
thanks for the beautiful poem.
To: McGavin999
I know they'll get the message. I sent it to my daughter, who still has friends over there and ocasionally feels a pang of guilt because she's home and they are still there. She stays in touch.

Perhaps you can pass it on to all those on your Iraq ping list. That is beautiful. {sniff!} They will all be very close to my heart over Christmas.
I don't have an Iraq ping list (yeah, I probably should...), so I'm pinging someone who does.
