Been there?

As these holidays approach there are lonely people who are away, in miserable places, protecting us without politics. These are lonely holidays, filled with reflection, missing, and worry. Pray for them...the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. They'll hope for better-than-average chow and maybe that last mail-call while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads. The sugarplums can dance because those men and women volunteered to be there.

Let's not forget missionaries -
I know it is a different motivation that sends them where they go - but not all that different really.
