What an incredible idea! I never even thought about it. Are the soldiers at a base and how did this come to pass? Thanks for doing this for our soldiers. Maybe you've started something on this board for next year. May God bless you and our soldiers this holiday season.

Yes the live on base we have a couple up here different branches. We have a wife of soldier who we are helping out she is getting us in contact with the base commander (forgive me if I have the wrong terminology my husband is so much better at that than me) After we thought about it we decided to invite as many as we can. I know there are some programs that will match you up with a solider it is a great program and we cannot wait to do this next year. I just picked up a bigger ham just to make sure they are not leaving the table hungry :)

Thanks to you and your DH for doing this for soldiers who are alone at Christmas. My son is in the AF in Alaska and I know how comforted I would feel if a family were doing for him what you are doing. My son will be getting together with co-workers so he will not be alone. He is a very long way from home and we miss him terribly.

Thank you to you AND your family!
THat is a very special man that you call "husband" - - there are a lot of men who never think of such a thing unless their wives nag. He is definitely a keeper.
Merry Christmas <wave>
And, don't forget to tell the soldiers that there are three things in the world to NEVER forget!
1) God loves them
2) We love them
3) The sun will rise in the morning
and, there are more citizens in America grateful for their service than are taking it for granted.
