A poem for our troops
OOORAH from the aunt of a Marine.

America’s Christmas Tree

I got the gift you sent me,
Today as I watched the news.
It was so beautiful wrapped in camouflage,
And elegant in the dress Blues.

I opened it prayerfully and carefully
Because I know it is true
That you have given a gift to me
Just by being you.

Thankful I am for the strength you have
The braveness and courage too
The sacrifice that you make for us
So we can stand free for the Red White and Blue.

This country and I are so grateful
For the brave and right that you do.
For Christmas this year we give you a gift
Of our hearts and prayers, support too.

When we see each other again real soon
Directly face to face
But the best gift I get this Christmas
Is to know you fight with Grace.

Grace is a gift that is given
To us from God above
It is free for just the asking
Just because of His great love.

You fight for our country and for me
With honor and loyalty
You give us a gift we can never repay
Our right to be proud and free.

So this year just remember
As you eat your MREs
You are the greatest gift
Under America’s Christmas tree.

God Bless You. God be with you and send His mighty angels to look over you. May God make His face to shine upon you and give you rest.
