Jim,
Excellent poem. I can’t even imagine the lonleyness they must feel while they are there. One other person I would like to mention is Ricky Yarish who has made a very great sacrifice to help protect our great country. To him and the many others, You have earned my utmost gratitude and respect. You are all always in my prayers. And Roger, a thanks to you as well for your selfless commitment to protect this country.

Jim:

Thanks for a great gift. That poem will go in my archives. You’ve done the blog world a service by posting and researching it.

For anyone who’s ever stood a cold lonely guard post on Christmas Eve, or was on the incoming side of a rocket barrage in Danang on New Year’s eve, and for every soldier, sailor, marine, airman and coastguardsman defending our country, we say Merry Christmas and a prayer.

Hooah!
