I would like to personally thank everyone who participated in the MikeD's Christmas in the Desert project.
Regardless of what your position on our involvement in Iraq.
Regardless of what you may think regarding the folks on both sides of that continuous argument here.
Regardless of what you may think of *my* presentation on this.
You made it a success.
Every thought, nickel, card, email and letter makes a huge difference.
All the prior military folks here, including myself, have had to miss holidays, birthdays, and important family events while performing their duty. Those of you who have not experienced that feeling in a military environment will never understand the melancholy, frustration, and masked unhappiness by those in the country's uniform this time of year.
I especially thank those who have been in that position.
The actions of everyone is noted, and I know it has been said again and again, but::
it was *YOU* who made it come together.
well done.
