William ~
I can see the smile or frown that appeared as you skimmed through the envelope of Christmas wishes, your imagery quite clear. There's too, when they receive the love from you!
and then to see you "standing and clapping" as the troops come home to their loved ones, the fighting is done for them as many others take a stand! A gracious heart you do have! Amen!
Warm hugs and Warmer Blessings, Warrior Purple Lady Sweet Sheooxoo

STay Positive!Always!!!
As the troops feel the miracle soon coming through, to bring them ALL home where they should be!

Enjoyed this very much.

Thank you William for sharing how much you care and you just caused me to stand and clap my hands for them too. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

With all the hustle and bustle of the season, I've missed much of the TV reports. Thanks for bringing this one to me. So often our perspective is blurred. Beautiful focus in this one.

I'm sorry William, But those same hands that are clapping for the soldiers just doing what they are told, are probably the same ones that voted for the nincompoop who sent them there. Bring them home for good!!!

Hope they all can come home and stay..
Stay safe William

William, this is such an inspiring scene...it actually brought tears to my eyes...thanks for sharing.

A beautiful,touching piece, William...I was at an airport when another group of soldiers was returning home, and the people sitting at the gate all stood and clapped too...
peace and love, Carole~

What a touching scene.

...always...someone coming home for Christmas...does something to the heart...and with the troops...our hearts beat just a little faster and stronger...your thoughts share this with us.
Thanks...John

With the cost of shipping to Iraq...we can almost pay for an airplane ticket home. Mariah's beau is in Iraq and I mailed a small package for her today with candy in it. It cost me $19.25. This is awful since the gift goes to soldiers. I applaude our troops but I don't think our government does.

Love,
Susan

Nice work, William. I stood too to applause our brave warriors. The once who have to stay behind are cupped in our prayers.

We should all be welcoming them home, my friend, no matter where we are.

Beautiful, William. Well done. I, too, saw the story and stood up alongside you. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

William,
Very tender and much patriotism showing through. Our soldiers must come home, it is killing our morale here in the states.
Soon, it will be all over and our boys will be safely here.
Peace, Love, and Light,
