“I’ll be home for Christmas…if only in my dreams.”
These are the words of an old Christmas song that take us to each of the brave men and women serving in our military around the world. Our hearts and prayers are with you and with your families at Christmas and always. We owe you a great daily debt of gratitude and praise. This year the Chavda family Christmas tree is decorated with the faces of our fighting men and women stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Between snowmen, twinkling lights, and candles of red, white, and blue, your faces look back at us as shining sentinel reminders of our greatest gifts. Few and brave, you are always faithful, always ready. Few and proud, gung-ho, there is just one over all. Duty, honor, country, this is what you defend. No one comes close to the example you serve. For you as we gather around the Christmas tree our hearts are full of gratitude, our prayers ever vigilant. You are with us and we are with you, faithful to your stolid unrelenting courage, commitment, and sacrifice.
Here's health to you and to our Corps,
We are so proud you serve.
In every strife you fight for life so
Never lose your nerve.
Always ready for the call,
We trust in God to keep thee,
Through howling gale and shot and shell,
And bring you home in vict’ry.
We count you brave,
We count you true,
Let vicious foe steer shy.
You’re first to fight for all that’s Right,
So never change your course,
Till we meet once more, the battle o’er
We are proud of all you’ve done.
With Christmas prayers we watch the door
And wish you each a happy voyage home!

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. -- Thomas Paine
Our prayers also are with those who are fighting for Freedom's cause, military soldiers and the soldiers of the Lord who keep ever diligent to hold forth Christ's love.
