‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
and to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand,
on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kinds,
a sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
not how I pictured a United States soldier.
Was this the hero of whom I’d just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?
I realized the families that I saw this night,
owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world, the children would play,
and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.
I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone,
on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.
The very thought brought a tear to my eye,

The very thought brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice,
“Santa don’t cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom, I don’t ask for more,
my life is my God, my Country, my Corps”.
The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep,
I couldn’t control it, I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,
and we both shivered from the cold night’s chill.
I didn’t want to leave on that cold, dark, night,
this guardian of honor so willing to fight.
Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,
whispered, “Carry on Santa, it’s Christmas day, all is secure”.
One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,
“Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night”.

But I hate to have to see bush or cheney but there is a lot of good in this video. It does show a little of how evil bush and cheney are. I really wish that our soldiers were fighting for our freedom but they are not. War is a racket financed by evil people to kill many good people as these monsters think that there is too many people in the world.http://www.beyondtreason.com/

It carries a powerfull message, in an emotional way that makes an impact.Plucks all the right heartstrings.
I'm not sure if I agree that we could pull the troops out immediately, but I would sure like to see them all home safe.
I like it because.....
I will always remember them and be glad my brother made it home safe and sound...but my heart goes out to the families of those soldiers that don't. By the way that is my brother in the pics that I used.I like it because.....
