I sat here trying to think how to start this post. What did I want it to say? How long did I want it to be? I wasn't sure how to begin. I turned on some Christmas music to help get me in the right frame of mind to write a Christmas Wednesday Hero post, but it wasn't really helping. I mean, how do you properly thank a group of people who have given up everything in their lives to serve you and protect people all over the world with just a single post on a silly blog? Many of these Men and Women haven't seen their friends and families in months and many won't be seeing them for many more months. How do you thank them? They are away from home during the time of year when everyone should be together. How do you thank them for that? Some of them will never see their home or loved ones again because they laid down their life for a complete stranger. How do you thank them for that? I guess the better question would be are we able to thank them enough?
To all those who have completed their service, the ones who are serving, the ones who have payed the ultimate sacrifice and those who may have never served but help those who have and are, Thank You and Merry Christmas.These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People LivedThis post is part of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. For more information about Wednesday Hero, or if you would like to post it on your site, you can go here.

good choice for this week.
You did that very well.
I agree! Thank You seems so little, but those two words can mean the world to the troops.
AirmanMom,Christopher really comes up with some good ones. Merry Christmas to you and your Family,where ever they may be.
Amen!
and a Merry Christmas to you dear friend.
God Bless You and our soldiers...That we have such strong individuals to shoulder the burden and carry us through the hard times. I sleep safe and sound at night because of my son and all the other young men and women who carry us proudly with their strength.
Brilliant. Thank you AM. Class act as usual and very appropriate. Wishing you the Merriest Christmas ever. Peace.
