Christmas season is in the air for the majority of us here at FOB Leatherneck. We have some small trees up with little decorations and some battery powered lights and a few wrapped presents to give it that extra Christmas feeling. We also have some stockings hung up and my office has a candy cane countdown.

We have also received an unbelievable incredible amount of support from so many people from our homes, to the entire State, and even other states! All of us here are so grateful and cannot say thank you enough for all of your efforts and support. We also know that thoughts and prayers flood us daily and we certainly appreciate all of them.
Next week is already Christmas! It is hard to believe where the time has gone and we are also grateful for that. It is definitely a time what we can sit back and reflect on all that has happened in the last year and look very happily to the next year. It is a time that we wish that we were at home enjoying the snow and all the great things we can do with the season. I personally miss the snowmobiling and plowing the many driveways my brother has me help with. I also miss building snowmen and sledding with my kids. I wish I was home to go shopping for gifts and to see my children's eyes when they open their presents. The smell of cookies and turkey filling the air! Many of us will miss all of these things but it is also a great feeling to know that our families are safe at home.
I would also like to take this time to thank the veterans before me, serving with me, and the future ones that will help protect my family and friends. It is a great feeling knowing there are so many that fight for our freedoms and safety. With that I would also like to thank the families of these Veterans. I was thinking to day that without my family I could not do this. I have said it before and will say it again that my wife and kids have served just as much as me and to them and all military families, Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!! Thank you again for all of your love and support!
