Holiday Greetings 2006

 

 

Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, its’ Christmas time again!  Christmas time is a time to bring out the tree, mistletoe, and decorations.  But let us all remember what Christmas time is all about…Christmas time is about togetherness!  A time to spread joy and warmth.  Let us all share in this Christmas sprit!

 

Of all gifts, the greatest gift a person could give is one of sacrifice.  Around the world this Christmas, our nations’ finest men and women are away from their family and friends, making a personal sacrifice for each one of us.  This sacrifice is one that has been made many times over for countless years.  Memories of past Christmas’ will hold them over until they can be reunited with their loved ones.  So, let us be thankful even during tough times, for what we have, what we cherish, and what we look forward to in the future.  Let us hope that those men and women who are protecting our nation will return home to their families soon.

 

On behalf of the National VA Council, I want to wish each and every one of you a most festive Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
