Christmas Dinner in a Combat Zone


In case anyone is feeling sorry for me (at least, as it pertains to creature comforts, etc.), attached is the Christmas Day fare at the chowhall... Of course, I may not go to the chowhall during the noon meal, I tend to eat my meal at suppertime. However, that's a personal choice, which makes it a personal problem... For a meal like this, I'll probably make an exception, if only for the eggnog (imagine, eggnog in a combat zone...). Of course, it's still not like home, though in all seriousness, I realize I am very fortunate--among the many Service personnel deployed this Christmas, I am one of the most blessed. Merry Christmas, and may the Advent of our Lord find you ready and waiting!

Semper Fi, JarHedJon
