It is Christmas and we should and can let our troops know we care about them.
Christmas is upon us.
It is time to celebrate with loved ones, but some people cannot celebrate with loved ones because they are protecting our country. They cannot come home for Christmas. They are in Afghanistan, Germany, South America, and other places instead of being with their loved ones.
