"The boy's stockings came in the mail last night on Christmas Eve. Cool!I felt like Santa tip toeing around the berthing hanging up stockings on their racks."

Email from 1st Sgt. was a great Christmas present!

To those that brought supplies to help fill stockings and Christmas packages,

To Susan, who cut and sewed the stockings in spite of a house under major renovations at the holiday,

To all the folks who have pressed money into my hand for shipping in the last six months or offered an encouraging word,

To the postmaster who got all of the presents on the last truck before deadline,

To everyone who has ever helped get some love to Karmah and to those who helped with some in time for Christmas,

Thank you so much for showing these Marines people in the States are glad they were born, too.

Merry, Merry Christmas!
Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad...Psalms 9:11
