Happy Holidays!

A reader writes:

My thoughts travel to you, soldiers so far away and near, protecting our country and values.

As I prepare for the upcoming holidays in the land of the free, I wanted to take time to thank those who make it possible, you who bravely defend us.

May your holidays be celebrated with the knowledge that we think of you and thank you for your service.

Without you, none of this would be possible.

Happy Holidays!
